American Gods Season 2 Confirmed

American Gods Season 2 Confirmed

The Hit STARZ Series Will Continue

By Alex Burns



Great news for fans of Neil Gaiman, the live-action adaptation of his American Gods novel has been picked up for a second season! STARZ have confirmed that the dark fantasy drama will return for a full series pick up and though we may only be two episodes in with Season 1,  the series has already received widespread critical acclaim and attracted over 5 million viewers across multiple platforms so far.

Carmi Zlotnik, president of programming for Starz, said, “Bryan Fuller, Michael Green and Neil Gaiman have evolved the art form of television narratively, structurally and graphically with ‘American Gods,’ and we’re thrilled to be working again with these artists as they continue to build the worlds and wars of the gods.”

“American Gods has been a ground-breaking series born out of belief and it’s thrilling to be partnered with Starz to continue this ambitious story. Neil Gaiman, Bryan Fuller and Michael Green have ignited a conversation through cinematic magic, presented through a diverse ensemble of actors that continue to keep us engaged and inspired,” said Craig Cegielski, Co-CEO of FremantleMedia North America.

When Shadow Moon is released from prison, he meets the mysterious Mr. Wednesday and a storm begins to brew. Little does Shadow know, this storm will change the course of his entire life. Left adrift by the recent, tragic death of his wife, and suddenly hired as Mr. Wednesday’s bodyguard, Shadow finds himself in the center of a world that he struggles to understand. It’s a world where magic is real, where the Old Gods fear both irrelevance and the growing power of the New Gods, like Technology and Media. Mr. Wednesday seeks to build a coalition of Old Gods to defend their existence in this new America, and reclaim some of the influence that they’ve lost. As Shadow travels across the country with Mr. Wednesday, he struggles to accept this new reality, and his place in it.

You can catch new episodes of American Gods every Monday on STARZ and Amazon Prime here in the UK. Check out a preview for episode 3 - "Head Full of Snow" in the player below!
