Netflix's VIKINGS: VALHALLA Gets a February Premiere Date
Netflix has announced that the Vikings spinoff series Vikings: Valhalla is set to premiere on February 25th, 2022. I loved the Vikings series and I couldn’t be more stoked for this spinoff, which is set 100 years after the events of the original History Channel series.
Set over a thousand years ago in the early 11th century, Vikings: Valhalla “chronicles the heroic adventures of some of the most famous Vikings who ever lived – the legendary explorer Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), his fiery and headstrong sister Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson), and the ambitious Nordic prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter). As tensions between the Vikings and the English royals reach a bloody breaking point and as the Vikings themselves clash over their conflicting Christian and pagan beliefs, these three Vikings begin an epic journey that will take them across oceans and through battlefields, from Kattegat to England and beyond, as they fight for survival and glory. VIKINGS: Valhalla, set over a hundred years after the end of the original VIKINGS series, is a new adventure that blends historical authenticity and drama with gritty, immersive action."
The series also stars Bradley Freegard, Johannes Haukur Johannesson, David Oakes, Laura Berlin, and Caroline Henderson. Given the vast amount of time between the settings of the two shows, don't expect to see any familiar Vikings faces on Valhalla.
Jeb Stuart serves as showrunner and writer on the series, and Niels Arden Oplev will direct and produce the first episode. Other Season One directors include Stephen St. Leger and Hannah Quinn. Joining Stuart as writers are Vanessa Alexander, Declan Croghan and Eoin McNamee.
