A full-cast dramatisation of Neil Gaiman’s magical retellings from the Norse myths, inviting us right into a globe of gods and monsters, tricks and trust, fiery endings and fresh beginnings

‘And the game starts anew…’

Meet up with the trickster god Loki and his astonishing children – the giant wolf Fenrir, Jormungundr the snake that encircles the world, and Hel, the tiny girl who grows up to become Queen of the dead. Here, too, is normally Odin the all-father, who sacrificed his attention to start to see the future; Thor the thunderer, who defends Asgard with his fearsome strength and mighty hammer; and Freya the understandably irritated, most beautiful from the gods and constantly being gambled for by undesired suitors.

From the beginning of the universe in fireplace and ice, to the end from the world, Ragnarok, these enthralling tales of gods, goddesses, dwarves and giants bring the ancient common myths to vigorous life.

Diana Rigg, Derek Jacobi, Colin Morgan, Natalie Dormer and Neil Gaiman himself are among the stellar cast in these spellbinding stories of aged betrayals – and new wish.
