American Gods S03E08 Preview: Salim Receives a Tempting Invitation

With only to go until the next episode of STARZ's American Gods, we have another preview to get you in the mood for "The Rapture of Burning." While Laura (Emily Browning) is off looking for Doyle (Iwan Rheon) to help her get her now-living hands on the one thing that can take down Wednesday (Ian McShane), Salim (Omid Abtahi) is offered an invitation of what could very well be a lifetime. But is Salim ready to move on by letting go of the past?

Here's another look at Sunday night's episode of STARZ's American Gods:

And here's a look at the previously-released promo, along with an episode overview and a GLAAD preview showcasing Dana Aliya Levinson as a trans woman who befriends Salim- in this clip, the conversation turns to the issues of self-acceptance and shame:

American Gods Season 3, Episode 8 "The Rapture of Burning": Laura and Salim must venture outside their comfort zones to overcome the complications of their pasts; Wednesday shows a different side of himself that takes Shadow by surprise; Technical Boy comes up with a plan to escape his mental prison. Directed by Tim Southam, with the teleplay by Holly Moyer.

Now here's a look back at the third season of STARZ's American Gods:

"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.
