American Gods Season 4 Synopsis – What Has Unfolded In The Story So Far?
Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle) is made aware that his better half has succumbed to the injuries that she endured during the car accident. He is told this dreadful news a little before his release from the jail and because of this, he is released early to perform the last rites for the burial. A sequence of events cause him to miss his flight home and it is during this time that he meets the enigmatic Mr. Wednesday.
Wednesday constantly offers Shadow a task which he refuses. However, after this, he is informed about the fact that the role that he was anticipating is no longer open to fulfill. Wednesday’s minder (driver/assistant/bodyguard) is offered to Shadow and he takes the job.
Shadow finds himself in a hidden domain where sorcery prevails and a group of Ancient Gods’ fears are becoming trivial since the New Gods have decided to make their presence known. The New Gods use technology and various media platforms to lure the newer generations.
Wednesday has been trying to strengthen the Old Gods so that he could safeguard their presence and redeem the superiority that they lost while planning to overthrow the New Gods. This causes a lot of problems for Shadow as he strives to make it happen.
American Gods’ first season garnered mostly good reviews from reviewers. 92 percent rating has been acquired on Rotten Tomatoes, with a median score of 8.12 out of 10 as a result of 89 reviews. It has a Metacritic score of 77 out of 100, indicating decent judgments based on 36 ratings.

American Gods Season 4 Plot – How Will The Story Unfold In Season 4?
We saw Shadow Moon chained to Yggdrasil, the World Tree, where he was conducting a death vigil for Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane), who was murdered by Laura Moon (Emily Browning) with his very own spear, Gungnir, in the American Gods Season 3 finale.
Mr. Wednesday’s corpse, on the other hand, withered from Yggdrasil’s base in the last minutes of the series finale. Is Mr. Wednesday planning a new strategy?
Not to mention Mr./Ms. World, who was last seen in the aftermath of Mr. Wednesday’s death, preparing for a battle between the Old and New Gods, what would happen there? We can expect to discover the answers to these questions in American Gods Season 4, if it ever gets produced in the future.
If American Gods Season 4 gets renewed, one could watch Shadow’s path. If he approves his divinity as Odin’s offspring, the story will be diverted wholly and will be presented in a new light altogether.
If the producers decide to continue with American Gods Season 4, they could refer to the remaining part of the novel for further inspiration regarding the content for the next season.
