American Gods Season 3: Mr. Ibis Will Make It Clear What's Important

With only a little more than a month to go until the third season of STARZ's adaptation of author and executive producer Neil Gaiman's famed novel, American Gods continues to get viewers up-to-speed on the who's who and the what's what in the escalating war between Wednesday's (Ian McShane) old gods and World's (Crispin Glover, Dominique Jackson, Danny Trejo) new gods. In the middle we find Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle), who believes he can leave the war behind, change his name, and settle down in Lakeside. But Shadow will soon realize that his destiny lies with being a god. But while he may not be able to escape it, he can still decide the god he wants to be.

For this go-around, we get to check in with Demore Barnes to see what's in store for Mr. Ibis, our keeper of stories, past and present. While Ibis spent a large chunk of last season observing and recording both side of the war while looking to carve out his own little "faith corner,' Barnes teases that Ibis will have much more "clarity" when it comes to what his interests are, what's important to him, and that speaks to his future:

Here's a look back at the official trailer for the third season of American Gods, that was released earlier this week- 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.
