The Anastasi boy series has been one of the most talked-about adaptations coming out this year, so we’ve rounded up everything you need to know on what’s been revealed so far. The show was first announced in July 2021 at Cannes Lions Festival by Revision Studios, which will produce it for Amazon Prime under their new international production arm.

Release Date Speculations for Anansi Boys

The showrunners Gaiman and Douglas Mackinnon have revealed no official release date for the series. The Novel adapted TV Series has been confirmed recently, therefore, we cannot expect a 2021 release. And if the cast and other details do not get a thumbs-up from the makers, then the release might be delayed up to 18 months.

Potential Storyline for “Anansi Boys”

“Anansi Boys” is based on a book trilogy written by Neil Gaiman and released between 2005 and 2006. It tells the story of Fat Charlie Nancy; who lives his life as an average; Joe until he learns that; he is the Anansi’s son. His father, Anansi was a spider; who had many children with human women. And now wants Fat Charlie to replace him; after his death; so that all of their stories will not die; in time.

After moving with his dad from Florida to England for work reasons, Fat Charlie Nancy learns that he also has inherited certain gods’ powers after being told by Spider(his deceased dad). In addition to inheriting supernatural power, alongside Maxie “Spider” Morningstar (a trickster spider), they navigate life as children growing up in a world where Anansi is the god of stories and his children are forced to live in anonymity.

Anansi Boys Spin-Off Predictions

The series might be adapted from Neil Gaiman’s novels but there are other speculations about what it could have for content. It can also go as an anthology showing different types of Anansi tales or even just one story told throughout four seasons like “American Gods”. The direction has been kept under wraps by Amazon Prime which only offers synopsis and release date information at this point. If they do decide on adapting Anansi Boys, we would love to see how these Anansi kids would be incorporated.

Cast and Crew for the Series

The Anansi Boys tv show cast shouldn’t be too different from the novel. In Anansi Boys, there is a protagonist named Fat Charlie who meets his brother Spider after he finds out that their father has died. He soon learns about how Ananse can shape-shift and assume another person’s form at will, including mortal humans. There are also some secondary characters in the book such as Rosie Watson (Fat Charlie’s girlfriend) or Raymond Chandler (Spider’s friend). It would make sense to have these actors play those roles for the TV adaptation since they’re already familiar with them but we cannot say anything yet until Amazon Prime announces more information on this project.

Some of the cast and crew members who we might see involved in this project are:

• Kara Smith
• Racheal Ofori
•  Hilary Bevan Jones
• Orlando Jones
• Kristin Chenoweth
• Gillian Anderson
