Actually nevermind about the book being 2 seasons, Gaiman has said it would be essentially the first season:

Now, Gaiman has revealed more about his plans for the drama, saying that it will not be completely faithful to the book. He told MTV News: "I'm worrying about it one episode at a time [and] one season at a time. The overall plan right now is that the first season would essentially be... the first book, with a few interesting divergences. You don't want the people who've read the book to be able to go, 'I know everything that's going to be happening.' Well, no. You know a lot more than anybody who is starting from here, but we will do things that will surprise you, too."
He added that the scope of a long-running TV series would allow him to explore the world created in his original 2001 novel. "There was always so much more plot for American Gods and... what happens in the fall-out, so we're just going to follow it along."

This was back in 2011 though, so who knows what he's thinking now that the script is actually starting to be written.
