Spoiler Alert: This story contains details of tonight’s American Gods Season 2 finale.
“In American Gods, as you know, one of the things that’s always been important to me is the idea that it’s set in the real world,” professes Neil Gaiman of both his acclaimed 2001 novel and the Starz series upon which it is based. “It’s not set in the Marvel Universe and it’s not set in the DC Universe. It’s not set in a heightened reality place, it’s actually set in our world, where weird sh*t happens.”
Certainly there was an abundance of weirdness in tonight’s American Gods Season 2 finale “Moon Shadow.”
Following the death of the drunken and pugilistic supposed leprechaun Mad Sweeney (Pablo Schreiber) in the penultimate episode, the Old Gods are now turning against their shifty leader Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane). As New Gods kingpin Mr. World...

Based on the Neil Gaiman books, the Starz drama of modern deities American Gods is currently in its second season and has been renewed for a third. At The Contenders Emmys, Deadline’s Dominic Patten talked to show stars Ricky Whittle, Emily Browning, Pablo Schreiber, and Ian McShane, who also serves as Executive Producer, about the current season, how the fantasy translates to issues in real life and expanding the universe of Gods.
Currently in its second season, McShane, who plays Mr. Wednesday, said that the show is going back to the books more as they dive deeper into the New and Old Gods. “You have to get back to the source material to get to know the people,” he said. McShane also teased that the upcoming season will take place Lakeside — and for diehard fans, that’s a huge deal.

Back in 2013, when the project was still at HBO, American Gods was reportedly aiming for a six-season stretch. Three years later, Gaiman said in an interview that he had “no idea” how many seasons the series would run, but claimed that the first was “basically...
