Warning: This article contains a spoiler for the final episode of American Gods season 1.

It's a good day for American Gods fans, as showrunner Bryan Fuller has revealed the second season will have even more episodes, as well as a faster pace.

Fuller, who alongside Michael Green adapted Neil Gaiman's novel for television, has confirmed the show's second season will consist of ten episodes, whereas the first had only eight.

He also revealed the second series will be faster, with a "much more exciting arc".

"Much of the pacing and dreamlike quality of season 1 was about Shadow Moon's mental state," Fuller told The Wrap.

"Now that he's been activated [as a believer], we can expect something a little different from how we're going to tell the stories."

Sunday night's season finale saw Wednesday (Ian McShane) finally reveal himself as Odin, the God of War, as the war between the old gods and the new finally got underway.

Approaching the second season, Fuller added that Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle), who has now backed Wednesday in his fight against the new gods, will "change in a massive way".

"Whenever anyone engages in a faith bargain and they commit to it, they change their perspective in a massive way," he added.

"So the story we get to tell with Shadow in the future is one of a character who's crossed that first benchmark, which was non-believer to believer.

"Now that he believes, how does he believe? And how will what's happened with his wife and Mr. Wednesday shift those beliefs?

"Suffice to say, Shadow will have a much more exciting arc in season 2 than he did in season 1."

American Gods airs on Starz in the US and is available to stream on Amazon Prime in the UK.
