The cancellation of the musical follows recent revelations, with reports from New York Magazine and Vulture detailing the allegations.

WW Norton has decided not to pursue future projects with Gaiman, although it did not specify if this decision was related to the allegations.

Nine women have publicly accused Neil Gaiman of sexual misconduct, with the allegations first reported by Tortoise Media in July 2024.

HarperCollins announced it has no new Gaiman titles scheduled for publication in the US.

As a result of the allegations, a new musical adaptation of Gaiman's *Coraline* has been cancelled, which was set to premiere at Leeds Playhouse in April 2025.

Recent reports from Vulture have detailed further accusations against Gaiman, including claims of nonconsensual BDSM.

Gaiman, aged 64, has denied these allegations, asserting on his website that he has never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity.

In response to the allegations, Gaiman expressed his horror and dismay, acknowledging some moments in the women's accounts while maintaining his innocence.

The musical was anticipated to tour to several cities including Edinburgh, Birmingham, and Manchester after its initial run.

Co-production partners, including Leeds Playhouse and Royal Lyceum Theatre, issued a joint statement declaring the impossibility of continuing with the production in light of the allegations.

Dark Horse Comics has also cancelled upcoming releases of Gaiman's graphic novels and comic books, ceasing future publications of his works.

Additionally, Prime Video's *Good Omens* will conclude with a single 90-minute episode instead of a full third season, and a Disney adaptation of *The Graveyard Book* has been put on hold.
