Starz has revealed the first look at the character Bilquis from their upcoming series American Gods, based on the bestselling novel by Neil Gaiman.

Check out the photo here below of Bilquis, played by Yetide Badaki, in what is sure to be an unforgettable scene in the television show.

Co-showrunner Bryan Fuller (Hannibal) had said that the character, who is one of the “Old Gods” who had very few pages devoted to her in the book, would be getting an expanded role in the TV series and would be “a major player in this world.”

The casting on the Starz TV series adaptation of Neil Gaiman‘s novel American Gods is wrapping up. In addition to the many roles that have already been cast—including the main character Shadow Moon, who is set to be played by The 100 star Ricky Whittle, and Mr. Wednesday, who will be played by Deadwood star Ian McShane—the characters Zorya Vechernyaya, Czernobog, Anubis, and The Jinn have also recently be cast.

The newly announced castings go as follows: Cloris Leachman (The Last Picture Show, Young Frankenstein) will play Zorya; Peter Stormare (Fargo, Armageddon) will play Czernobog; Chris Obi (Snow White and the Huntsman, Ghost in the Shell) plays Anubis; and Mousa Kraish (Superbad, Fast & Furious) plays The Jinn.
