Two actresses are joining the fantasy world of the Starz drama "American Gods". Ashley Reyes has been added as a series regular while Herizen Guardiola is set to recur in the series based on Neil Gaiman’s novel of the same name.



Reyes will play Cordelia, who was a whip-smart but rebellious college dropout facing mounting legal bills and student debt before Mr. Wednesday arrived in her life.

Now, she road trips across the country meeting her boss’ eccentric friends and helping him with “tech stuff,” unaware she’s caught up in a divine battle for the soul of America.



Meanwhile, Guardiola will step into the role of Oshun who is described as the Yoruban goddess of love, purity, fertility who uplifted and empowered the enslaved people who built America.

While known as the maintainer of balance, and the mother of sweetness, Oshun is formidable and known for her spiritual strength. This season, Oshun and her fellow Orishas play a mysterious but vital role in Shadow’s spiritual awakening.
