Zack Snyder’s next project for Netflix has been unveiled – and, sorryRebel Moonfans, but it isn’t a third movie that’s set in his epic,Star Wars-like universe.

In fact, Snyder’s new production couldn’t be more different from his latest film duology forNetflix. Indeed, it’s calledTwilight of the Gods, it’s a Norse mythology-inspired TV show instead of a big budget sci-fi action flick, and it’ll be an animated offering, rather than a live-action property. Hey, I did warn you it was a far cry from his most recent work.

Fans of the beloved filmmaker won’t have to wait long forTwilight of the Godsto thunder onto the world’sbest streaming service, either. Taking to X/Twitter yesterday (April 24), Snyder revealed the R-rated series would debut on Netflix in late 2024. Oh, and he also proved a first-look image for his upcoming show, which shows off its gorgeous looking art style:

Admittedly, this isn’t the first we’ve actually heard aboutTwilight of the Gods. The TV project, which will comprise eight episodes, was first announced in June 2021. Back then, I reported on thetitle reveal of said show and the stacked castwho’ll lend their vocal talents to Snyder’s new series. Since then, though, details have been few and far between, with Snyder and Netflix’s focus being trained on developing the writer-director’sRebel Moonfranchise. You should read ourspoiler-light thoughts onRebel MoonPart 1to see if it’s worth watching and/or get the lowdown on all thingsRebel MoonPart 2, which made its debut on April 19.

But I digress. Now that we have a firm release window forTwilight of the Gods, fans can begin counting down to Snyder’s latest Netflix production. And who knows? It might have enough about it to secure a spot on ourbest Netflix showslist if it’s, you know, actually good.

What is Twilight of the Gods about and who else is involved?

Netflix hasn’t released a story synopsis forTwilight of the Godsyet. However, we expect to learn more about its plot at Annecy Film Festival 2024, which runs from June 9 to 15. PerDeadline, Snyder and Netflix will reveal more about the adult animated series as part of the streaming giant’s extensive presence at the high-profile entertainment industry event.

Until then, the only concrete details we have are those provided by Snyder from a December 2023 chat withCollider. “Basically, there’s a king and his queen in a small Viking village, and they want to get married,” Snyder said. “An event happens to them at their wedding that causes Sigrid, who is the bride to be, who is the child of giants, to go on a crazy mission of revenge.

“She enlists a cast of characters – a seer [and] a dwarf [among them] – and they come together to form a band that has this one mission to find a god and fight him. It’s a mission, it’s a revenge story. Sigrid is this beautiful, very Scandinavian kind of cold but passionate character that I’ve really enjoyed working through and with because she’s just so cool.”

Dutch actor Sylvia Hoeks (See,Blade Runner 2049) will voice Sigrid. She’ll be joined by a number of other notable names, includingGame of Thronesalumni Pilou Asbaek and Kristoffer Hivju as Thor and Andvari,The Fall of the House of Usher’s Rahul Kohli as Egill,Wonka’s Paterson Joseph as Loki,The Walking Dead’s Lauren Cohan as Inge,Ant-Man’s Corey Stoll as Hrafnkel, andIron Fist’s Jessica Henwick as Sandraudiga.

Snyder and Jay Oliva – the latter being a veteran of multiple animated projects for DC,Paramount Plus, andMarvel– are confirmed to be the show’s main directors. The pair are joined by Snyder’s wife and producing partner Deborah, plus the Snyders' long time collaborator Wesley Coller, on the series' executive producing team. Finally, Stone Quarry Animation, KRAKN Animation, and Xilam Animation have created its visuals.
