The Starz drama received a formal second season order last May, but the departures of Executive Producers, Bryan Fuller and Michael Green put the series' future in doubt.
According to the official logline: "American Gods pits Old Gods against New Gods, with the ancient mythological ones fearing irrelevance as their believers die off or are seduced by the money, technology, and celebrity offered by the younger deities."
"Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) is an ex-con who, left adrift by the recent death of his wife, becomes bodyguard and traveling partner to conman Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane). "
"But in truth, Mr. Wednesday is a powerful old deity, on a cross-country mission to build an army and reclaim his lost glory."

The report also states that Dean Winters and Devery Jacobs have joined the robust cast for Season 2.
The first season was a hit for the premium cable network. It secured 0.7 million viewers and a 0.3 rating in live + same day ratings.
The numbers swelled significantly with delayed viewing factored in.
