AMERICAN GODS has a premiere date and a new poster that teases the oddity and uniqueness of the series.

Based on the book of the same name by Neil Gaiman, American Gods has been highly anticipated by many fans. As we saw photos of some of the major characters for the show in the months since its announcement, the one thing we didn’t have yet was a release date.

Well, now we do. According to Deadline, Starz has confirmed that American Gods will premiere on Sunday, April 30th at 9pm ET/PT. Starz also released this poster:

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.

Joining Whittle and McShane are Emily Browning, Pablo Schreiber, Yetide Badaki, Bruce Langley, Crispin Glover, Orlando Jones, Gillian Anderson, Kristin Chenoweth, Jonathan Tucker, Cloris Leachman, Peter Stormare, Chris Obi, Demore Barnes, Corbin Bernsen and Mousa Kraish.
