That's one of them, more of an Anansi spin-off really. The short story The Monarch of the Glen is a more direct follow up featuring Shadow.Is the sequel people are talking about Anansi Boys? I've read that ages ago for some reason I can't remember.
If this were true, wouldn't they just bring him back for season four instead of firing him completely?
People talk about D&D, but the sleepy holly people pissed off EVERYONE.Didn't he get fired for bullshit reasons from Sleepy Hollow too? I hope he isn't getting blacklisted :/ Jones is too good for this shit.
Didn't pay attention to this show since I can't watch Starz but it sounds like a dumpster fire behind the scenes. And Fuller left? Welp

You did the right thing.I watched it and threw a trash can through a pizza place window
I just caught up on Black Lightning today. Eager for CW to finish this Infinite "(eyeroll)By Any Means Necessary(as the only two black guys in the room nod)" Crisis rubbish so we can get back to Freeland, the family, and the good stuff again. As a Marvel guy, I acknowledge that Infinity War was equally ridiculous with a bigger budget, but I need my Blackity black black lightning fix.That is why i will hold on to Black Lightening for dear life. Getting black as fuck stuff on tv is a rare treat
"We will continue our mission of diversity by swapping the Malcontent Negro Orlando Jones and replacing him with a non-threatening African American Man of Color (Don Lemony or lighter please)!"That little diverse dig at that end smells like covering their asses
This. I didn't like season 2 and now I'm worried about 3.Mr. Nancy was by far one of the best characters, with Orlando never failing to deliver a powerful performance.
This is the message of Mr. Nancy in the second season.
Gailman even made a kinda sequel about his character, so cutting him is weird.
"I assumed at some point somebody would say that I wasn't going to be in season three," he said. "And I imagined that someone would reach out or, there would be some sort of press release out to respond to that in some meaningful way."
But there wasn't, and so Jones said he decided to set the record straight after a clip of him as Mr. Nancy (aka Anansi, the Trickster God) from Season 2 of "American Gods" began to go viral. In the monologue, from episode 4, Jones' character declares that "slavery is a cult," among other things.
I was getting hundreds of messages from fans on each one of those [social media] platforms," he said. "'We can't wait for Season 3,' 'We love Mr. Nancy,' 'I use this in my class,' 'this really touched my soul,' I mean, beautiful stuff. And to be honest with you, I cried. I just sat and cried because I knew that I wasn't going to be there."
"And at some point I gotta say something," he said. "So I just repeated what they had said. All I can say is what I was told. And all what I was told was, 'angry gets shit done' is the wrong message for black America, and that the new showrunner [Chic Eglee] writes from a black male perspective."
That is a good video, that is fucked up if they knew they was going to do that but keep him hanging for a year
Well fuck the people behind the show then.
Anyone not familiar with the character should watch his introduction speech
Great actor. Bullshit to fire him

Wait you're telling me it wasn't a good idea to kill of one of the main duo that the show was based around and who audience love and the relationship between the duo is practically the reason people love our showPeople talk about D&D, but the sleepy holly people pissed off EVERYONE.
*Googles Chic Eglee*"And at some point I gotta say something," he said. "So I just repeated what they had said. All I can say is what I was told.
