Amidst the rising anticipation for Paul Mescal’s Gladiator remake, the forthcoming series Kaos with Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, and the second season of Percy Jackson And The Olympians, Norse mythology claims its spotlight with “Twilight Of The Gods.” After centuries of influence including a Chris Hemsworth portrayal, these deities are now gracing the digital era.
Netflix first revealed Zack Snyder’s series Twilight Of The Gods in 2021, and given Snyder’s preference for expansive storytelling, it’s no surprise the release date comes three years later. But for the denizens of Valhalla, what are a few more years? The series is set to debut on Netflix on September 19.
Described by Netflix as an “all-new daring and spectacular animated vision of Norse mythology,” the plot entwines love, war, and vengeance: Leif, a human king, meets Sigrid, a formidable warrior, on the battlefield, sparking a love that survives an assault from Thor and leads them on a relentless quest for revenge. The show is set to take audiences through mythical realms, intense battlefields, and confrontations with gods and demons alike.
Netflix also shared an initial glimpse of the series, reflecting visual inspirations from animated hits like Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend Of Korra. Snyder shared his enthusiasm for the creativity afforded in animation with The Hollywood Reporter, indicating the direct translation from concept to execution as immensely satisfying.
The project is a collaboration with co-creator Jay Oliva and Eric Carrasco, boasting an impressive voice cast that includes Sylvia Hoeks as Sigrid, Stuart Martin as Leif, Rahul Kohli as Egill, Paterson Joseph as Loki, among others.
