Neil Gaiman on American Gods' Season 2 finale: I'm glad our show is set in the real world, "where weird sh*t happens"

Deadline

“In American Gods, as you know, one of the things that’s always been important to me is the idea that it’s set in the real world,” Gaiman says of the Starz series and his book that it is based on. “It’s not set in the Marvel Universe and it’s not set in the DC Universe. It’s not set in a heightened reality place, it’s actually set in our world, where weird sh*t happens."
