New Amazon Prime series American Gods is based on the Neil Gaiman novel of the same name, starring Ricky Whittle (Hollyoaks) and Ian McShane (Game of Thrones).
Whittle plays Shadow Moon, a convict released early from prison after the death of his wife.
Set in 1619 Virginia, Jamestown sits on what seems to be the edge of existence, only populated by men.
It's been this way for 12 years; that's until the town is shaken up when the first women, including Alice (Sophie Rundle), Verity (Niamh Walsh) and Jocelyn (Naomi Battrick), move in.
Jamestown follows the story of the new arrivals as they battle love, power and survival.
As you can imagine there is rivalry and competition among them, but they come to realise that they must all work as one to survive in their new lives.
Olivier Award winner Rory Kinnear (Spectre, Penny Dreadful), Daniel Mays (Line of Duty) and Zawe Ashton (Fresh Meat) have all been announced to be joining Golden Globe winner Idris Elba in the thriller.
The six-part series will air on Sky Atlantic next year, and Elba will co-star and executive produce the series through his company Green Door Pictures.
With some stellar names attached to write, act and direct the shows, Sky is building on the game-changing successes of the BAFTA-nominated The Last Panthers and the Enfield Haunting, and fan favourite Stan Lee’s Lucky Man
