It was only back in January that we shared the trailer for the second season of “American Gods” which airs on the Starz Network and if you missed that trailer please just click HERE to be up to date with the rest of us. This season begins tonight on the Starz network which is a premium channel from your cable provider and it will be episodic as opposed to something that you can sit and binge. Let’s take another look at the premise and casting along with the poster for the season.

The Premise: When Shadow Moon is released from prison, he enters a world he does not understand and meets the mysterious Mr. Wednesday. Left adrift by the recent death of his wife, Shadow is hired as Mr. Wednesday’s assistant/bodyguard. He finds himself in a hidden world where magic is real, where the Old Gods fear irrelevance and the growing power of the New Gods, including Technology and Media. In a grand plan to combat the threat, Mr. Wednesday attempts to unite the Old Gods to defend their existence and rebuild the influence that they have lost, leaving Shadow struggling to accept this new world and his place in it.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: I’ve already noted that I never saw an episode of the series because I don’t have the Starz Network. Maybe they will do a promotion and then I will look into the episodes. Until then these posts about it are for you fans of the “American Gods” property. Did you see the first season of his series? Will you be watching again and do you recommend to folks like myself who would need to figure something out to see it? Please chime in down in the comments below and I shall see you again soon.
