MR. TOWN, SAM BLACK CROW AND NEW MEDIA ROLES HAVE BEEN CAST IN SEASON TWO OF "AMERICAN GODS" FROM STARZ AND FREMANTLEMEDIA NORTH AMERICA
Dean Winters as Mr. Town, Devery Jacobs as Sam Black Crow and Kahyun Kim as New Media
Santa Monica Calif., June 4, 2018 - Starz, a Lionsgate company (NYSE: LGF.A, LGF.B), and FremantleMedia North America (FMNA) today announced that Dean Winters ("Divorce," John Wick), Devery Jacobs ("Cardinal," "The Order") and Kahyun Kim ("Shameless," Freaky Friday) have been cast as Mr. Town, Sam Black Crow and New Media, respectively, in the sophomore season of the critically-acclaimed STARZ Original series "American Gods."
Season two of the eight-episode one-hour scripted drama series returns to Starz in 2019 with Dean Winters cast in guest role as Mr. Town. A strong believer in progress, Mr. Town is tasked by Mr. World (Crispin Glover) to find out what Shadow (Ricky Whittle) knows about Mr. Wednesday's (Ian McShane) plan. His brutal efficiency and technique just may get him the answers to his curious questions.
Devery Jacobs, a First Nations actor, has been cast in a recurring guest star role as Sam Black Crow. Sam, a college student, is spiritually cynical for someone who claims to believe in so much. She lives life with fierce confidence and openness, selling the chainsaw art she carves by the roadside for extra money.
Kayhun Kim, a Julliard alum, will take on the recurring role of New Media. New Media is the goddess of global content - and in this age, a cyberspace chameleon, who is also a master of manipulation.
"American Gods" is produced by FremantleMedia North America. Jesse Alexander ("Hannibal," "Heroes") will serve as showrunner and executive producer this season. FMNA's Stefanie Berk is executive producing the series along with Neil Gaiman, Ian McShane, Craig Cegielski and Scott Hornbacher. Chris Byrne ("Star Trek Discovery" "Hannibal") is directing the premiere episode and will co-executive produce along with Heather Bellson and Rodney Barnes. Lisa Kussner will produce. Senior Vice President of Original Programming Marta Fernandez and Manager of Original Programming Kathleen Clifford are the Starz executives in charge of "American Gods."
