Emily Browning
Author of the novel on which the television series will be based, Neil Gaiman comments: "I've been fascinated by Emily Browning since A Series of Unfortunate Events. She has a challenge ahead of her: Laura is a tricky character, and the Laura on the screen is even trickier and more dangerous than the one on the page. She's going to have a wonderful time bringing Laura to life."
Fuller and Green add: "You don't need a magical coin when you have Emily Browning. She brings a fascinating spark of life to every role she inhabits and we are tickled she will be lighting up Laura Moon and bringing her to life in more ways than one on American Gods."
Laura Moon is the wife to Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle), currently preparing for her husband's pending prison release, but unaware of the journey she's about to take which will lead her to "an epiphany about her relationship", before affording her "a second chance to get things right."
American Gods begins shooting in April.
