Yetide Badaki is a goddess in this American Gods image

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Starz's series adapation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods has been shooting for quite some time, so we're finally getting to see a little bit of what they've been working on. In the latest image from the show, we get to see Yetide Badaki as Bilquis, the ancient goddess of love, in her element. And that element is gorgeous. Check out the red hot image below!

Says showrunner Bryan Fuller (Hannibal): “One of the exciting things for us in adapting this is that we get to expand characters, so Bilquis, who is only in a chapter of the book, then you don’t see her again, is a major player in this world.”

Fuller and Michael Green (The River) are writing and serving as the showrunners. The plot centers on:

a war brewing between old and new gods: the traditional gods of mythological roots from around the world steadily losing believers to an upstart pantheon of gods reflecting society’s modern love of money, technology, media, celebrity and drugs. Its protagonist, Shadow Moon, is an ex-con who becomes bodyguard and traveling partner to Mr. Wednesday, a conman but in reality one of the older gods, on a cross-country mission to gather his forces in preparation to battle the new deities.  

The series will also star Ian McShane, Ricky Whittle, Pablo Schreiber, Emily Browning, Bruce Langley, Crispin Glover, Jonathan Tucker, Dane Cook, Cloris Leachman, Peter Stormare, Chris Obi, Mousa Kraish, Gillian Anderson, Orlando Jones, and Demore Barnes.
