* TroubledProduction: Showrunners Bryan Fuller and Michael Green exited the series under mysterious circumstances after season one, launching a long and much-documented series of cast changes and producer upheaval. Season two's showrunner was relieved of his duties midway through the season after a reported series of budget overruns and rejected scripts. Season three, with yet another showrunner, saw more departures including [[https://deadline.com/2019/12/orlando-jones-american-gods-firing-lawsuit-racism-fremantle-gabirielle-union-starz-1202810221/ accusations of racism]] from Orlando Jones, who had been a producer / actor on the previous season. The launch of season three was later delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Marilyn Manson had a recurring role in the third season but his role was written out after credible abuse allegations surfaced. The series was canceled after the third season, possibly mercifully.

* AscendedFanon: Laura biting Robbie's penis off during the car crash is a bit of fanon from the books (to explain how Audrey knew that Laura died with Robbie's penis in her mouth). In the series she explicitly says that it was severed at the base for this reason.
