The show, which was produced by FreemantleMedia North America, is to premiere on Starz on April 30. Based on Neil Gaiman's novel, it follows the conflicts between old and new gods.

"Is it strange to want action figures from a main title sequence? Crucified astronauts, neon cowboys and S&M centaurs, we bow to Elastic and their spectacular vision. A totem of godly visions we didn't know we needed to worship until they showed us the light with this clarion call to the American Gods," co-showrunners and executive producers Bryan Fuller and Michael Green said in a joint statement Thursday.

The series' ensemble also includes Emily Browning, Pablo Schreiber, Yetide Badaki, Bruce Langley, Crispin Glover, Orlando Jones, Gillian Anderson, Kristin Chenoweth, Jonathan Tucker and Cloris Leachman.
