Twilight of the Gods release date, cast, plot and trailer
This action-packed fantasy series is the latest project from blockbuster director Zack Snyder.
Created by blockbuster legend Zack Snyder (Justice League, Army of the Dead), Twilight of the Gods is one of Netflix's most hotly anticipated adult animation shows.
Twilight of the Gods draws inspiration from Norse mythology, featuring a voice cast of familiar actors including John Noble (The Lord of the Rings), Pilou Asbæk (Game of Thrones) and Rahul Kohli (The Haunting of Bly Manor).
It's also going to lean into the "adult" side of adult animation, with plenty of gory Viking violence.
As co-producer Deborah Snyder put it, "I think there’s an expectation when you see something that Zack Snyder’s involved with, that it’s going to have really great hardcore action and that it’s going to be sexy."
This is the latest of several Snyder projects released by Netflix, following the 2021 zombie action movie Army of the Dead, and the recent sci-fi duology Rebel Moon.
