Zack Snyder's Twilight of the Gods ends on a significant cliffhanger but it seems as if Netflix is not interested in producing any more episodes of the Norse mythology animated series.
A new report says that the project, along with Exploding Kittens and the animated Good Times reboot, have all been cancelled by Netflix.
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 of vengeance and with the death of Baldr triggering the beginning events of Ragnarök, it certainly seemed as if the stage was set for more episodes.
However, according to What's On Netflix, the streamer has decided not to produce additional episodes of Snyder's animation project and the decision was based purely on viewership ratings.
The series didn't quite land the way Netflix would have hoped, in terms of global ratings, an outcome this animated series shares with a number of other high-profile Snyder-Netflix collaborations.
The 8-episode project was a collaboration between Snyder's Stone Quarry Animation and the France-based Xilam Animation, with Jay Oliva serving as showrunner and Eric Carrasco positioned as head writer.
Previously, Snyder said he and Oliva were keenly interested in making a second season, stating, "Yes, there’s a massive roadmap. We know exactly what will happen. It’s just a matter of seeing if there’s an appetite for it."
But it doesn't look as if that's going to come to fruition, at least at Netflix.

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 a wrath of terror from Thor (Pilou Asbæk), which sets them — and a crew of crusaders — on a merciless mission for vengeance, against all odds. 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 deities and demons.
