Sonya Walger (For All Mankind, Lost, author of novel WIFEHOUSE debuting April 7th) has signed on to recur as Freya in Prime Video’s God of War from Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios.
About Freya: Freya is a Vanir goddess and princess who practices powerful, ancient magic. She is also Odin’s ex-wife and the former Queen of the Valkyries in Asgard, a title bestowed upon her on her marriage day. She is strong, insightful, and filled with regrets. When Freya’s unhappy marriage to Odin ended with her being exiled, she was cut off from her family, as well as her native land, Vanaheim. Freya has lived alone in Midgard for a century, a recluse in a hidden glade, feared by humans, and often referred to as the Witch of the Woods.
Based on PlayStation’s massively popular ancient mythology-themed video game, the series has received a two-season order, with production underway in Vancouver. God of War follows father and son Kratos and Atreus as they embark on a journey to spread the ashes of their wife and mother, Faye.
