The 2D animated series, Zack Snyder’s ‘daring new take on Norse mythology,’ is set in a mythical world of great battles, great deeds, and great despair; 8-episode season streams September 19.
Netflix has shared a red band teaser (with an NSFW warning) of Zack Snyder’s Twilight of The Gods, a daring new 2D animated vision of Norse mythology. Episode directors include Snyder, Jay Oliva, Tim Divar, Andrew Tamandl, and Dave Hartman. Produced by Stone Quarry Animation and Xilam Animation, the eight-episode series streams September 19.
The show is set 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” 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 series’ voice cast includes Sylvia Hoeks (Sigrid); Stuart Martin as (Leif); Rahul Kohli (Egill); Paterson Joseph (Loki); Jamie Clayton (Seid-Kona); Pilou Asbæk (Thor); Birgitte Hjort Sørensen (Hervor); Kristofer Hivju (Andvari); Thea Sofie Loch Næss (Thyra); John Noble (Odin); Peter Stormare (Ulfr); and others.
Zack Snyder, Oliva, and Eric Carrasco are co-creators; Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder, Wesley Coller, and Oliva serve as executive producers. Xilam Animation produces the animation. Zack Snyder directs the first and final episode.
