HBO is planning the American Gods tv series to run for 6 seasons. Neil Gaiman will be writing more books in the universe. OMG YAY.
Syfy is working on a new TV series connected with a video game. Rockne O’Bannon (Farscape) will write the tv show...Huh. Could be cool.
The game combines the intense action of a "AAA" console shooter, with the persistence, scale, and customization of an MMO, while its TV counterpart weaves the rich tapestry of the world into a series with the scope, characters, and drama of a classic sci-fi epic. Because they exist in a single universe, the show and the game will influence each other and evolve together over time, with actions in both mediums driving the overall story of Defiance.[...]In an entertainment first, the game and show will influence and depend on each other, and even feature some players’ characters on the TV shows as extras.
