Main cast

 * Emmett Skilton as Axl Johnson (Odin) — The main character of the show. Axl was raised by Mike after his father died and mother walked out. He has shown a handful of abilities the most visible being super strength, but also an instinctive battle sense as befitting a war god. He has been on a quest to seek out his soul-mate, the Goddess Frigg, so that the Norse gods' and goddesses' powers can be restored to their full potential. He is capable of taking on a female form (played by Siobhan Marshall).


 * Tim Balme as Mike Johnson (Ullr) — The oldest of the Johnson brothers and also the wisest. Mike is seen as a father figure to Axl. He has a high sense of responsibility, and is willing to risk debt to make good on his word. He is the god of the hunt, and has the power of skill at any game, however the use of his powers brings as much bad luck as good, such as taunting his pool table opponents leading to a bar brawl and his best friend Rob going into a coma for fifteen years.


 * Dean O'Gorman as Anders Johnson (Bragi) — The cocky brother, Anders is selfish and arrogant, wanting to reclaim his power for his own selfish needs. He has the power of manipulation of those that can hear his voice. He had a fling with Michele but called it off when she mentioned she would sacrifice Mike's life so that Axl could find Frigg. In series 2 Agnetha (the boys' mother) sent him to Norway on a quest.


 * Jared Turner as Ty Johnson (Höðr) — The very sensible brother, Ty is very shy and spends a lot of time alone. Initially the host of Höðr, he had the power of radiating cold. Ty couldn't feel warmth and was unaffected by below freezing temperatures, hence his job selling and repairing refrigerators. Near the end of Series 2, he becomes a mortal after dying briefly and so losing his god essence. However, because such a fundamental shift happens to him, it causes every mortal to have known him to forget who he was.

Recurring cast

 * Keisha Castle-Hughes as Gaia (Iðunn) — Axl's flatmate, a nurse. She has a crush on him, and Axl has feelings for her, but at the series' beginning did not realise this. After a one-night stand with him, Gaia believed Axl had just used her and left. However she returned after the increasingly odd behaviour from her father drove her back, though she still believes Axl has no respect for her or other women. It is revealed in series 2 that her real parents were gods and so she will become a goddess at 21. In the series 2 finale, Gaia's goddess ceremony is inadvertently botched (due to Helen – the original Iðunn – being killed by god-slayer Natalie), throwing a spanner in the plan for Gaia to be reborn as either Frigg or Papatuanuku. She instead ended up becoming a new version of Iðunn in the wake of Helen's death.


 * Roz Turnbull as Valerie Johnson (series 1) — Valerie was Mike's wife. She went through hormone treatment as part of the in vitro fertilisation process with Mike as they attempted to have a child. She was the fiancée of Mike's best friend Rob until he went into a coma. After Rob woke up from his coma they had an affair, which resulted in her getting pregnant with his child. Knowing she was still in love with Rob, Mike decided that they should divorce.


 * Ben Barrington as Olaf Johnson (Baldr) — The boys' grandfather who is an oracle, though his diluted god-powers and years of drug use mean he's no longer very good at it. He is god of long life and rebirth, and therefore while currently being 92 he still looks youthful.


 * Brooke Williams as Eva Gundersen (Hel) (series 1–2) — A gothy musician who Stacey finds working in a butchery. Stacey and Michele, then Axl and Anders, see her perform at a dingy bar, and are convinced she is Frigg. However, it turns out she is Hel, the goddess of the underworld, and Colin Gundersen's daughter. She marries Ty in the series 1 finale. She is later killed by Agnetha because her increasingly erratic behaviour threatened Ty, and her death is made to look like an accident. Williams was promoted to series regular for season two.


 * Hayden Frost as Zeb – Axl's other flatmate, and best friend. Loyal but impulsive, he's up for anything without thinking of the consequences first. After discovering the truth about the Johnsons and their lives as Gods, he assigns himself the role of Freki and (much to Mike's annoyance) gets involved in their 'God business'.


 * Fern Sutherland as Dawn – Dawn is Anders' secretary and first assistant in his PR company. She is constantly bemoaning her job and the lengths to which she goes to please Anders but doesn't realise that she only does these things because of his persuasive tongue, which has also kept her from deciding to quit her job. She was in a short relationship with Ty until he accidentally froze her and he called it off, though feelings between them are still evident, even with her believing that Ty killed Eva.


 * Alison Bruce as Agnetha (Freyja) – The leader of a band of goddesses who are intent on undermining the male gods' quest to regain their powers. She is the goddess of fertility and prosperity, very rich, and, as revealed in the series one finale, the mother of the Johnson brothers. After killing Ty's wife Eva in series two, she is sentenced to revert to a tree and Loki takes advantage of the transformation to destroy her in a forest fire. Currently, missing presumed dead.


 * Rachel Nash as Ingrid (Snotra) – Goddess of prudence and wisdom and oracle of Agnetha's band of goddesses who has an analogous role to that of Olaf amongst the Johnsons. Ingrid spends a lot of time researching the genealogy of potential Norse gods and goddesses in their quest to reach Frigg before Odin does. She has a soft spot for Olaf which finds her telling him things she shouldn't.


 * Michelle Langstone as Michele (Sjöfn) – One of Agnetha's band of goddesses, Sjöfn is the goddess of love, and is bisexual. Michele in her mortal guise is a local area doctor. She is often entrusted with the riskier intervention missions against the Johnson brothers. She initially played flirting games with Anders until he called things off between them, before forming an alliance with Colin. However his disdain for her lead to her instead falling into Mike's arms.


 * Eve Gordon as Stacey (Fulla) – One of the band of goddesses and Frigg's handmaiden. She is sent all over the city whenever an errand needs to be done. She later leaves Agnetha and becomes Eva's servant, even though she isn't Frigg. Due to Michele's magic, she briefly had an intense sexual relationship with Zeb, which she ended when the spell wore off. She may be about to start her own courier business.


 * Richard Knowles as Rob (series 1)


 * Sara Wiseman as Helen (Iðunn) – Helen was the initial incarnation of Iðunn, and by chance met Ty when he showed up at a bar that she worked at. They entered a brief relationship, but when Olaf reveals the truth to him behind Iðunn's history, especially that she will be forever doomed to enter a relationship with Bragi (Anders) that will never end well, he ends the relationship (not wanting to subject her to that fate). Unfortunately, he later takes Anders to the same bar a year later, forgetting Helen worked there, which caused her and Anders to meet. They then entered a relationship, which Anders quickly gets frustrated with. She is killed by god-slayer Natalie, and her death inadvertently botches Gaia's goddess summoning, making her the new Iðunn (instead of Frigg or Papatuanuku as originally thought).


 * John Leigh as Bryn – Gaia's father.


 * Geoff Dolan as Derrick


 * Arthur Meek as Jacob – Gaia's ex boyfriend.


 * Shane Cortese as Colin Gundersen (Loki) – Colin is an eccentric and prosperous lawyer, and the estranged father of Eva. As the god Loki he is a trickster and the God of Fire. He secretly allied with Agnetha in series 1. He makes a contract with the Johnsons that one of them will marry his daughter, on pain of Mike's death if the contract is not fulfilled. After Eva's death he believed Ty killed her and tries to get revenge, though later learns it was Agnetha. He then proceeds to burn down the forest in which Agnetha was sentenced, possibly killing her.


 * Michael Hurst as Kvasir

Guest cast
