#SDCC16: Watch the Full American Gods Panel Right Here!
With so many choices now available or coming soon to the airwaves, it hard for horror TV fans to know where to look first. But one show we have our peepers locked firmly onto is “American Gods,” and if you agree, then you won’t want to miss out on watching its 2016 San Diego Comic-Con panel.
Below you’ll find executive producers Brian Fuller, Michael Green, and David Slade; cast members Ricky Whittle, Ian McShane, Pablo Schreiber, Bruce Langley, and Yetide Badaki; plus Neil Gaiman, writer of the book series, talking about the upcoming STARZ Originals Series and answering fan questions with host Yvette Nicole Brown.
“American Gods” stars Ricky Whittle (Shadow Moon), Laura Browning (Laura Moon), Ian McShane (Mr. Wednesday), Pablo Schreiber (Mad Sweeney), Orlando Jones (Mr. Nancy), Yetide Badaki (Bilquis), Bruce Langley (Technical Boy), Crispin Glover (Mr. World), Demore Barnes (Mr. Ibis), Jonathan Tucker (Low Key Lyesmith), Gillian Anderson (Media), Peter Stormare (Czernobog), Dane Cook (Robbie), Kristin Chenoweth (Easter), and Cloris Leachman (Zorya Vechernyaya).
“American Gods” is an adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s acclaimed contemporary fantasy novel of the same name, which has been translated into over 30 languages and earned numerous accolades including Hugo, Nebula, and Bram Stoker Awards for Best Novel. The plot posits a war brewing between old and new gods: the traditional gods of 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, is an ex-con who becomes bodyguard and traveling partner to Mr. Wednesday, a conman but in reality one of the older gods, on a cross-country mission to gather his forces in preparation to battle the new deities.
“American Gods” is produced by FremantleMedia North America. Bryan Fuller (“Hannibal,” “Pushing Daisies,” “Heroes”) and Michael Green (“The River,” “Kings,” “Heroes”) are writers and showrunners. David Slade (“Hannibal,” The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) is directing the pilot and additional episodes. FMNA’s Craig Cegielski and Stefanie Berk are executive producing the series along with Fuller, Green, Slade, and Neil Gaiman. Senior Vice Presidents of Original Programming Marta Fernandez and Ken Segna are the Starz executives in charge of “American Gods.” Starz retains all network pay TV and SVOD rights to the project. FremantleMedia is distributing the series worldwide.
