Overview
- Walger’s casting, announced Thursday by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios, confirms Freya as a recurring role.
- The official description calls Freya a Vanir goddess and Odin’s ex-wife who once led the Valkyries and now lives in exile on Midgard as the Witch of the Woods.
- Production is underway in Vancouver under a two-season Amazon order with Ronald D. Moore as showrunner and Frederick E. O. Toye directing the first two episodes.
- The ensemble features Ryan Hurst as Kratos, Callum Vinson as Atreus, Mandy Patinkin as Odin, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson as Thor, and Ed Skrein as Baldur, among others.
- There is no release date yet, and the first-look image drew pushback from fans, though Walger posted that she is excited to join the series.
