Neil Gaiman's Projects Canceled Amid Sexual Assault Allegations; Major Studios Cut Ties
January 27, 2025Following multiple allegations of sexual assault against Neil Gaiman, his publisher, Dark Horse Comics, has cancelled the release of his upcoming work.
Eight women have accused Gaiman of sexual assault, with the allegations first surfacing on the podcast Master: The Allegations Against Neil Gaiman in July 2024.
Gaiman has publicly denied all accusations, asserting that he has never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity.
In a blog post, Gaiman acknowledged his past relationships and admitted to being self-focused, but he continues to reject the allegations of abuse.
The fallout from these allegations has led to significant changes in Gaiman's projects, with Disney, Prime Video, and Netflix announcing cancellations and alterations to adaptations of his works.
The Prime Video show Good Omens, which Gaiman had written for, will now conclude with a 90-minute episode rather than the originally planned third season.
Disney has also paused production on its adaptation of The Graveyard Book, leaving the future of the project uncertain.
Marc Bernardin, the writer and producer of the Anansi Boys series, announced that the seventh issue, released last week, would be the final installment, expressing regret for the pain caused to the alleged victims.
As part of the distancing from Gaiman, the final issue of his graphic novel Anansi Boys will not be published.
