LatestIf you had one night left, and in the morning everything changes forever, what would you do with that night? The Johnsons face this very question in the season finale.
The four Johnson brothers have inherited the powers of the Norse gods. Because the gods lived eons ago, however, time has diluted the powers. The unique ability that each brother possesses isn't very strong, and they still have the same desires and faults that mortals do. Their lives include sibling rivalry, trying to get girls, and hanging out; but they also want to be stronger, and so they embark on a quest to fulfill an ancient prophecy in hope of gaining the full strength of their abilities.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dean O'Gorman later played dwarf Fíli in Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy — from Norse god to Norse-adjacent fantasy, full circle.
The show pioneered 'fantasy on a shoestring' for NZ television, proving you don't need Marvel money to make gods relatable — just excellent writing and sheep.
