The God Squad is back together: Neil Gaiman has shared the first picture from American Gods season two as filming on the Amazon Prime Video series begins.
The author joined stars including Ian McShane, Ricky Whittle, Yetide Badaki and Orlando Jones on location in front of “the Biggest Carousel in the World”, as production gets underway on the new episodes.
Me? What am I doing? Oh, just hanging out with gods and mortals at the House on the Rock. Why, yes, that is the Biggest Carousel in the World. Nothing special. (YES, IT WAS AMAZING. YES, IT WAS AS AMAZING AS YOU WOULD THINK.) @GodsOnAmazon @AmericanGodsSTZ pic.twitter.com/BhLEPLTp7d

The carousel is found in tourist attraction known as ‘The House on the Rock‘ in Wisconsin, a bizarre real-life location that was been briefly referenced at the end of season one.
