American Gods S03 Teaser: Bilquis, Laura, Demeter, Marguerite & More
With only three weeks to go until the escalating war between Wednesday's (Ian McShane) old gods and World's (Crispin Glover, Dominique Jackson, Danny Trejo) new gods rolls on for a third season, STARZ's adaptation of author and EP Neil Gaiman's famed novel, American Gods continues getting viewers up-to-speed on the who's who and the what's what before the series returns. This time around, the focus is on the show's queens- both human and something else… the ones we've known for the past two seasons and the ones we'll be meeting for the first time.
So from Yetide Badaki's Bilquis and Emily Browning's Laura Moon to Jackson's World, Blythe Danner's Demeter, and Lela Loren's Marguerite Olsen, here's a look at the queens you definitely don't want to cross:
Here's a look back at the official trailer for the third season of American Gods, with the series set to return to STARZ on Sunday, 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.
