American Gods is a series that will tackle issues of race, religion, and other provocative subjects head-on. And with it centering on the oncoming war between the Old Gods and the New, you can expect a lot of blood to be shed. But what else will you be seeing on this show? Male nudity.
- “Starz loves cock.” was Bryan Fuller's simple explanation, but was quick to add “ ‘Equal opportunity’ was the actual term. They knew that there was going to be sexual content in the show, and we were clear that it was always going to be uncuttable, in the sense that it would be related to character and story, and be presented as artfully as anything else.”
[BOOK SPOILERS]
- “You couldn’t tell the Salim-and-Jinn story without being honest about it, and we really wanted to tell that story and tell it right. It’s probably the part of the book we tell with the most fidelity, because it’s very moving and romantic.”
- With shows in the past like SPARTACUS, STARZ was very encouraging with Fuller and Green wanting to add male nudity to the show explaining that the network said, “ ‘Do what you want, do it artfully, and do it with our support.’ ”
- The first episode will feature [minor spoilers]a cell-phone dick pic, the second ep will show the real thing, and the third [BOOK SPOILERS] a full-frontal shot of an extremely well-hung Jinn
- STARZ was the first and only network that Fuller and Green went to for looking for a home for the series
There's also this :
AMERICAN GODS also has the single hottest and most pornographic gay sex scene ever put on mainstream television, so buckle up for ep 3

My body is ready.
Mr. Nancy, played by Orlando Jones, is the African trickster spider god. A god of knowledge and speech, he is happy to share his gifts with anyone who will listen.
Mr. World, played by Crispin Glover, is the seemingly omniscient leader at the center of the New Gods coalition, sometimes more challenged by his own subordinates than his enemies.
Once known as Ostara, goddess of spring (played by Kristen Chenoweth), Easter's holiday has been usurped by Jesus. But she embraces the jelly beans and chocolate bunnies in an effort to stay relevant.
Technical Boy, a New God (played by Bruce Langley), is purveyor of all things technology. Desperate to prove himself, and hungry for respect and power, he struggles to keep his impulsivity and petulance in check, making him dangerously unpredictable.
A Slavic god of darkness and evil, Czernobog, played by Peter Stormare, is reluctant to join the coming war, wary of Mr. Wednesday’s motivations.
Mad Sweeney, played by Pablo Schreiber, is a down-on-his-luck leprechaun, having a hard time understanding how he lost his charm and way.
Bilquis, played by Yetide Badaki, an ancient goddess of love who craves the worship she inspired in eras long ago, is eager to find that same relevance in today’s world.
Mr. Wednesday, played by Ian McShane, is a crafty and endlessly charismatic con man, is full of perverse wisdom, curious magic, and grand plans to unite the Old Gods in a battle for power against the New Gods.
Laura Moon, played by Emily Browning, is Shadow Moon’s ethereal wife. She dies unexpectedly just before Shadow’s release from prison. Little does she know that her untimely death will lead her to an epiphany about her relationship and afford her a second chance to make amends.
Shadow, played by Ricky Whittle, is released from prison to a life turned upside down - no wife, no job, and no bearings.

Reposting this little guide, for those who may need it! Neil seemed to be sharing this quite a lot lately due to people still asking him about it (and having a bit of fun):

@neilhimself I'm a hologram from a future where American Gods doesn't exist. How can I watch and also fix the timeline so it does exist?
