NYCC: ‘American Gods’ Season 2 Gets A Teaser Trailer

by Dave Elliott

Last night at NYCC, Amazon released our first look at the upcoming 2nd Season of American Gods.

Based on Neil Gaiman’s best-selling book of the same name, ‘American Gods’ tells the story of a power struggle between the traditional gods of mythological roots, and an upstart pantheon of gods whose behaviour reflects modern society’s love of money, technology, media, celebrity and drugs.

The series stars Ricky Whittle (‘The 100’, ‘Austenland’) as protagonist ex-con Shadow Moon, Ian McShane (‘Deadwood’, ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’)as Mr. Wednesday, and Emily Browning (‘Sucker Punch’, ‘Legend’) as Shadow’s wife, Laura Moon. Season two will see the return of Pablo Schreiber (’13 Hours’, ‘Orange Is the New Black’) as Mad Sweeney, Yetide Badaki (‘Aquarius’, ‘Masters of Sex’) as Bilquis, Bruce Langley as Tech Boy and Kristin Chenoweth, as Easter.

One person not returning is Gillian Anderson as Media, who decided not to continue the role. She has been replaced by ‘Shameless’ star Kahyun Kim, who plays New Media, and symbolises the role of social media in modern American life.

It has been a difficult road getting Season 2 underway, after showrunners Bryan Fuller & Michael Green left the series. Production eventually started in April under the leadership of Jesse Alexander (‘Heroes’, ‘Lost’, ‘Alias’) who replaced the duo.

American Gods‘ Season 2 premieres on Amazon in 2019.
