Starz - American Gods Season 2 LA Premiere

By Mulder, Los Angeles, Ace Hotel, 05 march 2019

“When the people came to America , they brought us with them . . . We rode in their minds, and we took root.”
Mr Wednesday

We were forged in God’s image, but the Gods are also made in ours – and in Season Two the battle moves inexorably toward crisis point as the destinies of gods and men collide. While Mr. World plots revenge for the attack against him in Season One, Shadow throws in his lot with Wednesday’s attempt to convince the Old Gods of the case for full-out war, with Laura and Mad Sweeney in tow. A council at the House on the Rock explodes into chaos, sending deities both Old and New on quests across America that will converge on Cairo, Illinois: forcing Shadow to carve out a place as a believer in this strange new world of living gods – a dark world where change demands commitment, and faith requires terrible sacrifice.

On Tuesday, March 5th, STARZ hosted a red carpet and premiere screening of “American Gods” Season 2 to a packed house of nearly 700 at the historic Ace Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. Post screening, guests partied among aerialist, magicians and tarot readers at the iconic Clifton's Republic.

Synopsis :
When Shadow Moon is released from prison, he meets the mysterious Mr. Wednesday and a storm begins to brew. Little does Shadow know, this storm will change the course of his entire life. Left adrift by the recent death of his wife, Shadow is hired as Wednesday’s bodyguard and finds himself in a hidden world where magic is real, where the Old Gods fear both irrelevance and the growing power of the New Gods, like technology and media. After a surreal reunion with his dead, unfaithful wife, Shadow and Wednesday set out as Wednesday seeks to build a coalition of Old Gods to defend their existence in this new America. Their road trip culminates at a joyous Easter brunch where Wednesday formally declares war against the New Gods, setting the stage for an epic showdown.
