Two more characters are joining the Godsquad. Dominique Jackson and Eric Johnson have joined the cast of Season 3 of American Gods. Jackson will porter Ms. World while Johnson will take on the role of Chad Mulligan, the Chief of Police of Lakeside.The announcement was made via the American Gods Twitter account. "I'd also like to welcome two more to the #GodSquad," the account wrote. "@tyraaross joins as Ms. World, an incarnation of the infamous Mr. World, and @EricJJohnson79 is our Lakeside Chief of Police, Chad Mulligan."
Book readers will recognize Lakeside and Mulligan, as a significant portion of Neil Gaiman's novel takes place in the sleepy town. According to the official description, Johnson's Mulligan is described as someone who "spends his days mediating disputes between townsfolk he’s known his whole life. This trademark low-key diplomacy works well for Chad until a local teenage girl goes missing, igniting a panic of paranoia and blame that threatens to tear Chad’s beloved town apart."
Jackson's Ms. World, on the other hand, will be new to TV and book lovers alike. The character is described as a new incarnation of Mr. World, who is desperately seeking attention.
Based on the Neil Gaiman novel of the same name, American Gods stars Ricky Whittle, Emily Browning, Pablo Schreiber, Crispin Glover, Bruce Langley, Yetide Badaki, Ian McShane, Mousa Kraish, Kahyun Kim, Demore Barnes, Orlando Jones and Chris Obi. Season 3 began filming on Oct. 9 and will premiere some time next year.
