While Anderson and Fuller have worked together on Hannibal, the lure of the Fullerverse was enough to take her away from playing Media after he left American Gods.
The role of Media saw Anderson play everyone from David Bowie to Marilyn Monroe, and thankfully, the convoluted nature of American Gods‘ storytelling means that New Media shouldn’t be too hard to cast ahead of the show’s sophomore year.
In a recent run of exits for the 49-year-old, Anderson has left behind major roles in American Gods and her 25 years as Agent Dana Scully on Fox’s The X-Files.
While it would be pretty easy to find an Anderson lookalike to take over as Media, TV Line reports that new showrunner Jesse Alexander is going to the other end of the spectrum as casting begins for the new role of New Media.
