Following Gillian Anderson’s departure from the series, Starz’ American Gods will have a New Media in the second season. TV Line reports that the new role will be played by an Asian woman in her twenties (yet to be cast) in the new series regular role.

The new role will replace Anderson’s character of Media, who was a prominent part of season one. Anderson announced her departure from the show in January, following showrunners Brian Fuller and Michael Green. The latter two left over creative disagreements with Starz regarding the length and direction of season two.

Jesse Alexander (Hannibal) and author Neil Gaiman, whose book is the basis for the series, will be showrunners for season two. Production will kick off in May.
