It’s going to be a busy few weeks for Zack Snyder on Netflix. Just a day after Netflix announced the director’s cut of Rebel Moon would start streaming on August 2nd comes the news that another Snyder project will hit the service soon after. Twilight of the Gods, an animated series based on Norse mythology, will start streaming on September 19th. You can get a first glimpse at the show in action in the brief new teaser trailer above.
The animation is being handled by Snyder’s own Stone Quarry studio, and the show itself was created by Snyder, along with Jay Oliva (executive producer on Netflix’s Trese) and Eric Carrasco (a writer on Apple TV Plus’ Foundation). Here’s the basic premise:
In a mythical world of great battles, great deeds and great despair, Leif, a mortal king, is saved on the battlefield by Sigrid, an iron-willed warrior with whom he falls in love. On their wedding night, Sigrid and Leif survive a wrath of terror from Thor, which sets them — and a crew of crusaders — on an against all odds and merciless mission for vengeance. This heroic story of love, loss and revenge, is a journey to Hell and beyond… across fantastical lands, battlefields fierce and bloody, and wars waged against Gods and demons.
The cast includes: Sylvia Hoeks (Sigrid), Stuart Martin (Leif), Rahul Kohli (Egill), Paterson Joseph (Loki), Pilou Asbæk (Thor), and John Noble (Odin).
The premiere date news comes as Netflix has been touting its animation lineup, which also includes Terminator Zero in August and the second (and final) season of Arcane in November.
