Starz Renews 'American Gods'
by EG
Starz is bringing back American Gods.
The pay cabler has handed out a season two renewal to the fantasy series, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
An episode count for the second season is not yet known.
Based on Neil Gaiman's 2001 novel of the same name, American Gods centers on a war brewing between old and new gods: the traditional gods of biblical and mythological roots from around the world steadily losing believers to an upstart pantheon of gods reflecting society’s modern love of money, technology, media, celebrity and drugs. Its protagonist, Shadow Moon (The 100's Ricky Whittle), is an ex-con who becomes bodyguard and traveling partner to Mr. Wednesday (Deadwood's Ian McShane), a con-man but in reality one of the older gods, on a cross-country mission to gather his forces in preparation for a battle with the new deities.
