Starz’s American Gods series, which is based on the book of the same name by Neil Gaiman and counts Bryan Fuller as one of its showrunners, is about a coming war between old gods that represent traditional belief systems and new gods based on modern obsessions like technology and celebrity. Given that premise, it naturally has a pretty wild opening title sequence combining religious iconography with modern delights like wires, drugs, and machine guns. Starz has released that opening sequence—which was created by a studio called Elastic—ahead of the show’s April 30 premiere date, and you can see it for yourself below.
In a statement (via Deadline), Fuller and fellow showrunner Michael Green asked if it’s strange “to want action figures from a main title sequence” and highlighted the “crucified astronauts, neon cowboys, and S&M centaurs” as their favorite details.
