Zack Snyder’s Norse Saga TWILIGHT OF THE GODS Reportedly Canceled After Cliffhanger Season 1 Ends

Zack Snyder’s Twilight of the Gods ends its first season on a major cliffhanger, but it seems Netflix has no plans to continue the story.

According to a new report, the series has been canceled, as has Explosive Kittens and the animated reboot of Good times.

Season 1 of Twilight of the Gods ends with the revelation that Loki was secretly the mastermind behind the events that sent Sigrid on her quest for revenge and with Baldr’s death triggering the first events of Ragnarök, it certainly seemed like the stage was set for more episodes.

However, according to What’s On Netflix, the streamer decided not to produce additional episodes of Snyder’s animated project and the decision was based solely on ratings.

The series ultimately failed to reach the level Netflix had hoped for globally, a problem it shares with several other high-profile Snyder-led projects at the service. Snyder’s other network projects, additional installments in the Army of the Dead and Rebel Moon universes, also appear to be dead in the water.

Its previously announced action thriller LAPD will also now reportedly be placed on the streamer’s back burner.

Returning to Twilight of the Gods, the 8-episode project was a collaboration between Snyder’s Stone Quarry Animation and France-based Xilam Animation, with Jay Oliva as showrunner and Eric Carrasco as head writer.

Previously, Snyder said he and Oliva were keenly interested in making a second season, saying, “Yes, there’s a huge roadmap. We know exactly what’s going to happen. It’s just a matter of seeing if there’s an appetite for it.”

But it doesn’t look like that’s coming to fruition, at least at Netflix.

The full Twilight of the Gods voice cast included:

• Sylvia Hoeks (Blade Runner 2049) as SIGRID
• Stuart Martin (Army of Thieves) as LEIF
• Pilou Asbæk (Game of Thrones, Ghost in the Shell) as THOR
• John Noble (Lord of the Rings, Fringe) as ODIN
• Paterson Joseph (Timeless) as LOKI
• Rahul Kohli (Supergirl, iZombie) as EGILL
• Jamie Clayton (Sense8) as SEID-KONA
• Kristopher Hivju (Game of Thrones) as ANDVARI
• Peter Stormare (American Gods, Castlevania) as ULFR
• Jamie Chung (Sucker Punch, Lovecraft Country) as HEL
• Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead) as INGE
• Corey Stoll (Ant-Man, The Strain) as HRAFNKEL

In a mythical world of great battles, great deeds and great despair, Leif (Stuart Martin), a mortal king, is saved on the battlefield by Sigrid (Sylvia Hoeks), an iron-willed warrior with whom he falls in love. On their wedding night, Sigrid and Leif survive the wrath of Thor (Pilou Asbæk), who sets them and a crew of crusaders on a ruthless revenge mission, against all odds. This heroic tale of love, loss, and revenge is a journey to Hell and beyond…through fantastical lands, fierce and bloody battlefields, and wars waged against deities and demons.
