The third and final season of American Gods, based on Neil Gaiman's novel of the same name, was broadcast on Starz between January 10 and March 21, 2021, and consisted of ten episodes. Charles H. Eglee adapted the third season, serving as the showrunner after the departure of second-season showrunner Jesse Alexander and original series creators Bryan Fuller and Michael Green after the first season. The season was officially greenlit in March 2019 and production began in October 2019.
The season stars Ricky Whittle, Emily Browning, Yetide Badaki, Crispin Glover, Bruce Langley, Omid Abtahi, Demore Barnes and Ian McShane, who all return from the previous season, while Ashley Reyes joins the main cast.
The series was renewed for a third season by Starz on March 15, 2019, and it was confirmed that Charles H. Eglee would serve as showrunner for the third season replacing Jesse Alexander.[20] The season consisted of ten episodes,[21] Alongside Eglee, the season is executive produced by Neil Gaiman, Anne Kenney, Damian Kindler, David Paul Francis, Mark Tinker, Ian McShane, Craig Cegielski, and Stefanie Berk.[3] In March 2021, after the season had finished airing, Starz announced it had canceled the series.[22]
The third season features several new actors in recurring roles. In September 2019, Marilyn Manson and Blythe Danner were cast in recurring roles.[7][8] In October, Ashley Reyes joined as a series regular, while Herizen Guardiola, Lela Loren, Dominique Jackson, and Eric Johnson joined in recurring roles.[2][5][1] In November, Danny Trejo, Julia Sweeney, and Wale joined the guest cast;[6] while in December, Iwan Rheon was added to the cast.[9] It was reported that Crispin Glover would return in a guest role.[25]
The third season also sees several cast changes, including the departure of Pablo Schreiber as Mad Sweeney at the end of the previous season.[9] In December 2019, Orlando Jones stated that he had been fired from the series in September and alleged that new showrunner Charles Eglee decided his character, Mr. Nancy, sends \"the wrong message for black America\".[26] In response, a spokesperson for the series stated that Jones' contract was not renewed because his character Mr. Nancy is not included in the book material on which the season 3 episodes are based.[27] Also in December, Mousa Kraish announced that he would also not appear in the third season.[28]
The third season received positive reviews from critics, who called it an improvement over its predecessor. Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 79% rating with an average score of 6.90 out of 10 based on 19 reviews, with the critical consensus stating, \"Though it's unlikely to bring anyone back into the fold, American Gods' tighter focus and strong performances may be enough for fans still holding out hope for a solid finish.\"[32]
Starz, meanwhile, released a statement in response saying: \"Mr. Jones' option was not picked up because Mr. Nancy, among other characters, is not featured in the portion of the book we are focusing on within season three.\"
Best known for playing Game of Thrones' Ramsey Bolton, British actor Iwan Rheon will play a character described by Starz as \"a charming, good-natured leprechaun\" who finds himself \"swept back into our world of gods, luck, and magic.\"
MR. X was the lead VFX vendor for American Gods season 3, delivering 790 shots between its Toronto, Montreal and Bangalore locations. Matt Whelan, VFX Supervisor, and Adnan Ahmed, VFX Producer, led the over 200-person MR. X team through the 12-month production, working and collaborating closely alongside overall VFX Producer, Robin Nozetz.
Like a number of other shows, American Gods came to a premature end when Starz pulled the plug on the show after three seasons. The third season came to an end without finishing the story, but despite the cast and crew saying at the time they would still try to conclude the story with a limited series or a feature length movie finale, there has been no word on anything like that happening.
\"Due to the allegations made against Marilyn Manson, we have decided to remove his performance from the remaining episode he is in, scheduled to air later this season. Starz stands unequivocally with all victims and survivors of abuse,\" a Starz spokesperson told Deadline.
The allegations prompted a rep for AMC's Shudder to announce it will pull his forthcoming episode from the second season of Creepshow, the Greg Nicotero-led reboot of George Romero's horror anthology series. Manson was expected to feature in one of two segments. No word yet on a replacement.
Despite these conflicts, the show managed to put on a pretty entertaining first season. Unfortunately, this would not be the case going forward. A pretty lackluster sophomore season also saw the ouster of Orlando Jones and Mousa Kraish, much to my disappointment.
I recently had the opportunity to sit with Ricky Whittle (Shadow Moon) and Yetide Badaki (Bilquis). I was able to ask for their elevator pitch to bring lapsed fans back for season 3 of the show. Whittle had a refreshingly honest reply.
Whittle went on to describe the time that show runner Chic Eglee and author Neil Gaiman had together at the outset of the season and how it really made a difference in the character interactions and journeys.
Technical Boy, already an enigma this season, becomes a bit more complicated as a therapy session with himself (or rather Bilquis posing as a rendering of his subconscious) reveals that emotions are nothing new to the humanoid. What exactly is Tech His origin story is due for telling and we are starting to grow more impatient each week.
Neil Gaiman, bestselling author and creator of American Gods, has recently penned a letter announcing the season 3 release date of the American Gods TV show. Within that letter Gaiman not only announces the premiere for season 3, but discusses the timely nature of the show, and the thought process behind bringing audiences Shadow's story. It would seem that Shadow is finally making his way to Lakeside, an important location in the original novel, and one that suggests some important parts of the book are making their way to the show.
The American Gods TV show has been through some troubled times. Original showrunners Bryan Fuller and Michael Green left after season 1 following conflict with Starz. Jesse Alexander was brought in to replace them, but also left after feeling sidelined by the production. Kristin Chenoweth and Gillian Anderson left after season 1, and further drama continues to swirl around current showrunner Charles Eglee following a twitter post by Orlando Jones who played Mr. Nancy on the show. Hopefully Gaiman's continued enthusiasm and involvement indicates that the heart of the original story still beats inside the show.
Review: American Gods has had a rocky few years. While it has developed quite the cult fanbase, the Starz series is now on its third showrunner in as many seasons. Brought to screen by Bryan Fuller, hands have changed each year with the change for season three being announced before the second even hit the airwaves. While using a 500-page novel as the source for multiple seasons of a television series would pose a challenge to anyone, it is not for American Gods. Neil Gaiman's book was packed with characters who have tales easily expanded for the small screen. This means that for season three, we say goodbye to some favorites and hello to new characters as we continue to chronicle the quest of Mr. Wednesday and Shadow Moon.
Having seen the first four episodes of the third season, American Gods till features the same trademark visual style that set the first two apart from anything on television. But, with the departure of Mad Sweeney, Mr. Nancy, and The Jinn from the main cast, the story has refocused into something a bit different this time around. From the outset, season three finds Shadow (Ricky Whittle) still dealing with the knowledge that he is Wednesday's (Ian McShane) son. Hiding out from his father, Shadow quickly finds himself in the small town of Lakeside, Wisconsin, a pivotal location from the novel. On-screen, fans will find this realization of Lakeside to be fairly faithful to the book. It also affords a brief reset for Shadow after the events of the first two seasons.
At the same time, Mr. World (Crispin Glover) appears in multiple guises including Ms. World (Dominique Jackson) and an alternate appearance (Danny Trejo). We also meet more gods including Demeter (Blythe Danner) who has a very old relationship with Wednesday. There are also new castmembers Denis O'Hare as Tyr, Iwan Rheon as leprechaun Liam Doyle, Julia Sweeney as Ann-Marie Hinzelmann, Marilyn Manson as Johan Wengren, and Ashley Reyes as Cordelia. First season cast including Yetide Badaki (Bilquis), Omid Abtahi (Salim), Demore Barnes (Mr. Ibis), Bruce Langley (Technical Boy), and Peter Stormare (Czernobog) reprise their roles in varying capacities, but the bulk of the screen time remains with Ricky Whittle and Ian McShane who continue to excel in their roles.
The focus of season three is a bit all over the place as the narrative shifts between Wednesday, Shadow, and Laura Moon (Emily Browning). Most of Shadow's time is spent in Lakeside while Wednesday pursues more allies for his coming war with the New Gods. Laura experiences the afterlife which offers an intriguing look at Gaiman's version of Purgatory. There are also the expected opening sequences visiting historical looks at the various gods in their element which has always been one of the cooler hallmarks of this series. The music is still solid and the visuals still reference back to Bryan Fuller's original vision with extreme close-ups and slow-motion looks at graphic violence and intense sexuality.
American Gods remains an intriguing story and one filmed with excellent production values, but I am starting to find my interest waning. After four episodes in season three, not much has really happened to any of the characters but I sense there is a lot coming. Structurally, the main arc is all over the place and ends up feeling like too many things happening simultaneously. Without divulging any spoilers, I can say that we finally see some repercussions for Wednesday's actions which sends things in a potentially intriguing direction. Overall, American Gods' third season will keep fans entertained but is not likely to win over many new viewers. For such a heavily serialized story, you will be lost if you haven't watched the first two runs of this story. For fans of the novel, you know where this season is headed but may not happy with how long it takes to get there. 59ce067264
