American Gods: Emily Browning's Season 3 Emoji Tease Wins Top Honors
Okay, this is definitely a nice change of pace for American Gods. Up until now, STARZ's adaptation of author and executive producer Neil Gaiman's novel has been treating viewers to the new gods, the old gods, and the mortals who will be making up the third season. In some instances, getting them caught up on some familiar faces while in other instances, introducing new players in the growing war between the gods. But for this update, cast members have gotten together to tease what fans can expect when the series returns in January 2021- in emoji form. As a spoiler before you check out the clip, Emily Browning's (Laura Moon) teaser is our personal favorite- though Bruce Langley's (Tech Boy) "father" emoji choice has us a little curious.
So to see how the cast of STARZ's American Gods would describe what lies ahead in a language that our eventual alien overlords will never stop being perplexed over (we feel ya), check out the video below (with the series set to return on January 10, 2021):
"American Gods" is the epic story of an inevitable war building between the Old Gods of mythology and our New Gods of technology. Whittle stars as ex-con Shadow Moon, a man pulled into the service of the mysterious Mr. Wednesday, played by Ian McShane ("Deadwood", John Wick) — 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 Three, 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.
