New American Gods Featurette Is Here

American Gothic

♦American Gods starts at the end of this month on Starz in the US and on 1 May on Amazon in the UK and here’s a new behind the scenes featurette on it…

Once known as Ostara, goddess of spring (played by Kristen Chenoweth), Easter’s holiday has been usurped by Jesus. But she embraces the jelly beans and chocolate bunnies in an effort to stay relevant.

The American Gods series focuses on Shadow Moon, a man serving three years in prison. With only days remaining in his sentence, Shadow is given an unexpected early release after his beloved wife Laura is killed. Shadow finds himself next to a man named Wednesday, who offers Shadow a job. Wednesday appears to be nothing but a con artist who needs Shadow as a bodyguard, but is in fact the god Odin. Wednesday is making his way across America, gathering all the old gods, who have now incorporated themselves into American life, to confront the New Gods, including Media and Technology, who grow stronger. Based on the novel of the same name by author Neil Gaiman, and developed by Michael Green and Bryan Fuller, American Gods begins on 30 April in the US and 1 May in the UK.
