American Gods Season 3 Images Released; Ricky Whittle Goes MTV Cribs
With STARZ's third season of its adaptation of author and executive producer Neil Gaiman's novel American Gods now less than two months away (January 10, 2021, to be precise), the series' international partner in association and Amazon Prime video are offering viewers fresh looks at Ricky Whittle (Shadow Moon), Yetide Badaki (Bilquis), Omid Abtahi (Salim), and Lela Loren (Marguerite Olsen) in front of the camera as well as behind the scenes. As Shadow Moon looks to walk away from the war between the old and new gods, "Mike Ainsel" will find himself in Lakeside looking to start over- but when you're a god, that's not something you really get to do… especially not in Lakeside. Here's a look at the preview images, followed by another treat for fans.
Now here's a look at Whittle offering an MTV Cribs-like tour of one of the main production's main tents- dragging Badaki and Abtahi into the tour:
"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.
