American Gods Trailer & Kristin Chenoweth Joins The Show


Starz has released the first trailer for the adaptation of Neil Gaiman's 2001 best selling fantasy novel American Gods.

The series centers on a war brewing between old and new gods: the traditional gods of biblical and mythological roots from around the world steadily losing believers to an upstart pantheon of gods reflecting society’s modern love of money, technology, media, celebrity and drugs. Its protagonist, Shadow Moon (The 100's Ricky Whittle), is an ex-con who becomes bodyguard and traveling partner to Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane), a conman who in reality is one of the older gods, on a cross-country mission to gather his forces in preparation to battle the new deities.

In addition to the trailer, the network also announced the casting of Tony and Emmy-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth as Easter, an old god who isn't struggling with the fading recognition like other old gods, there for she has no desire to join the impending war. Despite that, the old god does have an axe to grind but with Jesus.

"Easter is very, very pissed that Jesus took her holiday," said the actress earlier today at the American Gods Comic-Con panel.

American Gods marks the reunion of Chenoweth with her Pushing Daisies creator Brian Fuller, who serves as an executive producer, showrunner, and writer alongside Smallville's Michael Green.

Premiering in 2017, American Gods also stars Emily Browning, Gillian Anderson, Peter Stormare, Yetide Badaki, Orlando Jones, Demore Barnes, Bruce Langley, Crispin Glover, Jonathan Tucker, Christopher Obi, Cloris Leachman, Mouse Kraish, Dane Cook, and Pablo Schreiber
