American Gods Season 3 Trailer and 2020 NYCC Cast Videos

Starz‘s American Gods: Season 3 teaser trailer and the cast videos from the 2020 New York Comic Con have been released and feature Ian McShane, Ricky Whittle, Danny Trejo, Crispin Glover, Julia Sweeney, Marilyn Manson, Herizen Guardiola, and Ashley Reyes.

Crew

Neil Gaiman, the author of the book this TV series is based on, is an executive producer on the series. Charles “Chic” Eglee is the showrunner of the third season of American Gods. American Gods is produced by FremantleMedia.

Plot Synopsis

American Gods: Season 3’s plot synopsis: “American Gods is the epic story of an inevitable war building between the Old Gods of mythology and our New Gods of technology. Ricky Whittle stars as ex-con Shadow Moon, a man pulled into the service of the mysterious Mr. Wednesday, played by Ian McShane – only to discover that not only is his charismatic but un-trustable boss actually the Norse All-Father god Odin, he’s also…Shadow’s father.

In Season 3, Shadow angrily pushes this apparent destiny away, and settles in the idyllic snowy town of Lakeside, Wisconsin to make his own path, guided by the gods of his black ancestors, the Orishas. But he’ll soon discover that this town’s still waters run deep, and dark, and bloody, and that you don’t get to simply reject being a god. The only choice – and a choice you have to make – is what kind of god you’re going to be.”
