4. MEDIA
As the mouthpiece for the new gods, Media makes her play for Shadow very quickly. She is the ultimate personification of television, worshipped by the millions of Americans who cannot go a day without sitting down in front of the box to indulge. Clearly, she’s one of the more powerful gods involved in the story.
Offering Shadow a place to work away from Mr. Wednesday and alongside the new gods, Media does her best to poach the story’s protagonist, taking on a variety of characters from the small screen such as Lucy Ricardo from I Love Lucy and Diane from Cheers while doing so.
Gillian Anderson will be seen stepping into the role in the Starz series, slated to be appearing in seven episodes, but as you can see from the image above, a lot of what will be involved in regards to her character is being kept under wraps. When it comes to the small screen adaptation of the American Gods story, it certainly looks like we’ll be delving deeper into the personification of each character than ever before. Media is one of those characters who could provide a wealth of exciting new material in the TV series.
