Netflix Scales Back Zack Snyder Projects as Animated Series Is Cut and Franchises Stagnate

Industry reporting ties the retreat to high costs and underperforming viewership.

Overview

  • Forbes reports that Netflix will not renew Twilight of the Gods for a second season, marking at least a third canceled Snyder project with a possible fourth also in question.
  • TheWrap previously reported that Army of the Dead follow-ups, including the Planet of the Dead sequel and the animated Lost Vegas series, were quietly shelved in 2024.
  • Forbes notes Rebel Moon failed to crack Netflix’s Top 10 originals, and coverage says the universe is unlikely to expand beyond limited tie-ins like comics, a VR experience, and a small Netflix Games title.
  • A proposed LAPD-based action thriller reportedly stalled over Snyder’s $100 million budget ask, with World of Reel and other outlets suggesting the project is effectively off Netflix’s slate.
  • Forbes and ComicBookMovie say Snyder’s next film, The Last Photograph, has secured financing outside Netflix and will star Stuart Martin and Fra Fee.
