This exhilarating, provocative, star-studded series brings Neil Gaiman’s epic fantasy to the screen with cinematic flourish. Starring Ian McShane and Ricky Whittle. Combining ageless myth and spirituality with contemporary social issues, American Gods depicts an enthralling conflict between ancient divinities and the increasingly powerful new ‘gods’ of fame, wealth, greed, lust and power. A dazzling allegory for our times, the storylines weave across America, taking in a host of extraordinary characters as Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) and Mr Wednesday (Ian McShane) battle to define their roles in the world. In series 3, following his discovery that Mr Wednesday is his father, Shadow must choose between his destiny as a venerated god or a man in service to society. Smart, sexy, and totally unique, with a huge global fanbase, American Gods redefines fantasy drama for a contemporary, clued-up audience.
