This week’s episode of American Gods focuses on Mad Sweeney and his journey to America. Take a look at “Prayer for Mad Sweeney”!
Her brief reunion with Shadow over far too quickly, Laura turns to an unlikely travel companion to find her way back to life, and back to Shadow. Mad Sweeney’s long, winding, and often tragic past is explored. {Via STARZ}
We also have an exclusive peak at Emily Browning (Laura Moon), playing Essie McGown in the next episode, “Prayer for Mad Sweeney!
Speaking to VARIETY, Bryan Fuller said, “Essie was one of Michael and I’s favorite stories in the book. It’s essentially the tale of how Mad Sweeney made it to America. And we were talking about casting that role, and as we were in that conversation, Michael said, ‘Oh, we should just cast Emily in this role.’ And then we went to talk to Emily, and it was like, ‘So, the Essie episode’ — she was like, ‘Have you cast that actor yet? Because I think I should play her.’ And we were like, ‘Well, that just worked out well.’” {via STARZ}
