Written by Neil Gaiman (Sandman, Neverwhere, Norse Mythology) in 2001, American Gods has been translated into over 30 languages and earned numerous accolades including Hugo, Nebula and Bram Stoker Awards for Best Novel.
Starz, recently announced that the eight-episode second season of the epic series “American Gods” will premiere on Sunday, March 10th, 2019 at 8PM ET/PT on STARZ and will be available the same day on the STARZ App.
Production on the second season wrapped earlier this year in Toronto. I was a HUGE fan of both the original novel and the STARZ series first season so I’m thrilled the show is back! The STARZ AMERICAN GODS booth complete with America Diner a pivotal location in the story, at this years New York Comic Con was a highlight for me!
American Gods is an examination of American obsession and identity.
This explains much about where we find ourselves politically today.
I had a reservation at the STARZ booth located on the roadway right of the Crystal Palace. Starz brought one of the show’s central locations, the Motel America Diner, to New York Comic Con. The diner captured the attention of American Gods fans old and new by recreating everything from the iconic Motel America sign to the branded placemats that line the tables.
Worshipers who wish to pledge devotion to the critically-acclaimed first season of “American Gods” can tune in and live tweet the eight-episode Holy Day Binge Saturday, December 29, beginning at 12pmPT/3pmET.
Starring Ricky Whittle (The 100, Nappily Ever After) as Shadow Moon and Ian McShane (“Deadwood”, John Wick) as Mr. Wednesday, “American Gods” is a one-hour drama adapted from Neil Gaiman’s best-selling novel about a war brewing between Old Gods and New Gods: the traditional gods of mythological roots from around the world steadily losing believers to an upstart pantheon of gods reflecting society’s modern love of money, technology, media, celebrity and drugs.
We were forged in God’s image, but the Gods are also made in ours — and in Season Two the battle moves inexorably toward crisis point as the destinies of gods and men collide.
While Mr. World plots revenge for the attack against him in Season One, Shadow throws in his lot with Wednesday’s attempt to convince the Old Gods of the case for full-out war, with his undead ex Laura and Mad Sweeney in tow.
A council at the House on the Rock explodes into chaos, sending deities both Old and New on quests across America that will converge on Cairo, Illinois: forcing Shadow to carve out a place as a believer in this strange new world of living gods — a dark world where change demands commitment, and faith requires terrible sacrifice.
