American Gods

'American Gods' is a series brought to you by Bryan Fuller ('Hannibal') and Michael Green ('Kings') for the Starz channel. It is an adaptation of the successful fantasy novel of the same name, which was written by Neil Gaiman.

Fantasy, mythology, religion... The series shows the confrontation between the ancient mythological gods and the modern pagan gods of technology.

It all begins with Shadow's release from prison a few days after the death of his wife. He will be hired as a bodyguard and will meet Mr. Wednesday, a person who knows more about him than he could imagine. 

Shortly after, Shadow will discover that he is the reincarnation of the god Odin and that the world is about to suffer a war between the old gods and the new gods. 

The old gods are losing power due to the lack of belief that exists today, while the new ones, representing technology, are emerging. 

The cast includes a series of actors from well known TV series such as Ricky Whittle ('The 100'), Ian McShane ('Kings'), Emily Browning ('A Series of Unfortunate Events') and Jonathan Tucker ('Kingdom').

The series premiered in 2017 and has a total of three seasons. However, after low audience levels following the end of its third season, Starz, the network where it originally aired, decided to cancel it.
