By Mulder, 04 december 2020

American Gods is an American fantasy drama television series based on Neil Gaiman's 2001 novel of the same name and developed by Bryan Fuller and Michael Green for the premium cable network Starz.The official trailer for the third season American Gods series had been revealed today.

American Gods traces the epic story of an inevitable war between the ancient gods of mythology and the current gods of new technologies. Ex-convict Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle), in the service of the mysterious Traveller (Ian McShane), discovered that his patron with questionable practices was actually the northern god Odin, but also his own father.

In this third season, Shadow seeks to escape his destiny by settling in the peaceful, snowy town of Lakeside, Wisconsin to chart his own course, guided by the gods of his ancestors, the Orishas. However, he soon discovers that the waters of this seemingly peaceful town are actually dark, deep and bloody and that he cannot escape his status as a god. From now on, the only choice he will have to make is which clan he wants to be in: the old or the new gods.

The third season of American Gods, based on the novel of the same name by Neil Gaiman, will air in the United States on Starz and in France on Amazon Prime Video and will include ten episodes. Charles H. Eglee has adapted the third season, serving as showrunner after the departure of second season showrunner Jesse Alexander and original series creators Bryan Fuller and Michael Green after the first season.
