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
