American Gods

Season 1 | Season 2 |
Season 3 | Cast |

American Gods (2017-2021) is the television adaptation of Neil Gaiman's 2001 novel of the same name. The show follows Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) as he becomes tangled up in a journey across America alongside the mysterious Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane), Gods old and new, surprisingly tall leprechauns, and all manner of anthropomorphic belief systems.

To paraphrase from the novel, America is the only country that has to go looking for what it is. American Gods, the series, takes that mission statement to heart as it drives relentlessly on in search of every last corner of America's soul.

Season One was overseen by Bryan Fuller and Michael Green. Season Two was overseen to a large extent by Neil Gaiman himself. The show aired on Starz.
