'American Gods' Season 2 preview: Slavic God Czernobog may play a transformative role in hit Starz show

Czernobog is a bloodthirsty Slavic God who used to take pride and pleasure in all things evil, just what role does this now beaten-down God play in 'American Gods'?
UPDATED FEB 8, 2019

'American Gods' has introduced many strange Gods over the course of the first season, and you'd think Czernobog would be the first person to jump in on the action, but instead, we see him flip-flopping in his decisions to join the war between the Old Gods and the New. Czernobog is a Slavic deity whose name means "Black God", and in Slavic tradition, though there is a lot of speculation about who this God is, one thing is for sure, he just loves getting blood on his hands.

The Slavic God makes his first appearance in episode 2 of season 1, where our supposed protagonists, Shadow and Mr. Wednesday, meet a run-down old Eastern-European immigrant, by the name of Czernobog, who's really not too happy to see Mr. Wednesday aka Odin in person. They are also begrudgingly welcomed by three Slavic Goddesses who have taken up room with Czernobog, in order to make ends meet in the city (yes, Gods pay rent too).
