Ian McShane's Mr.
Wednesday meets Ricky Whittle's Shadow Moon in this new clip from Bryan
Fuller's forthcoming adaptation of Neil Gaiman's hit fantasy novel American
Gods for Starz.
In the series, when Shadow Moon is released from prison, he meets the mysterious
Mr. Wednesday and a storm begins to brew. Little does Shadow
know, this storm will change the course of his entire life. Left adrift by the
recent, tragic death of his wife, and suddenly hired as Mr. Wednesday’s
bodyguard, Shadow finds himself in the center of a world that he struggles to
understand. It’s a world where magic is real, where the Old Gods fear both
irrelevance and the growing power of the New Gods, like Technology and Media.
Mr. Wednesday seeks to build a coalition of Old Gods to defend their existence
in this new America, and reclaim some of the influence that they’ve lost. As
Shadow travels across the country with Mr. Wednesday, he struggles to accept
this new reality, and his place in it.
Premiering April 30, American Gods also stars
Yetide Badaki, Pablo Schreiber, Bruce Langley, Gillian Anderson, Orlando Jones,
Crispin Glover, Jeremy Davies, Kristen Chenoweth, Jonathan Tucker, Peter Stormare, Chris Obi,
Demore Barnes, Corbin Bernsen, and Mousa Kraish.

“American Gods”
posits a different kind of war brewing—one between Old Gods and New. The
traditional Old Gods, with mythological roots from around the world, fear
irrelevance as their believers die off or are seduced by the money, technology,
and celebrity offered by the New Gods. Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) is an ex-con
who, left adrift by the recent death of his wife, becomes bodyguard and
traveling partner to conman Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane). But in truth, Mr.
Wednesday is a powerful old deity, on a cross-country mission to build an army
and reclaim his lost glory.
