American Gods Season 3 premiere date, cast, trailer, synopsis, and more

What we know about the American Gods Season 3 premiere date, cast, and more

It’s not long now until American Gods Season 3 premieres. You can watch it this weekend in the U.S., although those internationally are waiting until Monday.

It’s okay; this season is more than worth the wait!

And it has certainly been a wait. The season has been in the works since 2019 (with the writing starting a year ago!) and has been through a few showrunner changes since then. It’s been shrouded in controversy throughout that time, too. But fans of the Neil Gaiman novel will want to see how it all plays out, especially since this season is set to return more faithful to the books.

So, let’s delve into what we know about American Gods Season 3, including where and when to watch.

American Gods Season 3 premiere date

The official premiere date is Sunday, Jan. 10. New episodes will be available to stream at 8/7c on the channel.

If you have the STARZ App, which you will do when you get it through Amazon Channels, you’ll be able to watch from midnight. Delve right into the next chapter in Shadow Moon’s story.

The episodes are released weekly on Sundays, which is standard for STARZ.

American Gods Season 3 cast

The majority of the cast from American Gods Season 2 is back. There is one notable exit, which was made extremely public throughout 2020.

Orlando Jones is not returning as Mr. Nancy. You can ready about why at Den of Geek.

Ashley Reyes is joining as a series regular. Her character, Cordelia, is a rebellious college dropout who is facing a mountain of debt and legal bills. Mr. Wednesday offers to wipe them out and she crosses the country with him to help with the “tech stuff.” Of course, she has no idea what’s really going on like Shadow Moon didn’t at first.

Game of Thrones actor Iwan Rheon will guest star in the third season as a “good-natured leprechaun” called Liam Doyle. Ramsey Bolton as a good character, really? Well, if you’ve seen Misfits, you’ll know that Rheon can do both good and evil.

• Eric Johnson as Lakeside’s Chief of Police Chad Mulligan
• Marilyn Manson as Johan Wengren

American Gods Season 3 trailer

The trailer for American Gods Season 3 came out at NYCC 2020. The virtual event was so much fun hearing from the cast of the series. It certainly made it clear there is a lot to look forward to.

Check out the trailer for the third season:

There’s also been a sneak peek for the first episode released. Shadow Moon may no longer be with Mr. Wednesday, but that doesn’t mean Mr. Wednesday isn’t looking out for Shadow Moon.

Shadow, now known as Mike, helps an elderly woman get back home. She talks about her husband, sharing all the good things first, and then goes into the cheater and liar that he was. This isn’t just any elderly lady. Watch the sneak peek to find out what’s going on:
