Vikings: Valhalla (2022)
Vikings: Valhalla (2022) is a historical action-adventure series that serves as a sequel to the hit series Vikings. Set over a hundred years after the events of the original series, Valhalla brings a new generation of legendary Norse heroes to life. This thrilling, high-octane series was created by Jeb Stuart and produced by Netflix, continuing the saga of Viking exploration, warfare, and mythology in a period of great upheaval.
Set in the early 11th century, Vikings: Valhalla follows a group of Viking explorers, warriors, and kings during the most pivotal moments of their time. With the Viking world on the brink of change, the characters are thrust into epic battles, brutal betrayals, and complex political struggles that will shape the course of history.
The series focuses on Leif Erikson, Freydís Eiríksdóttir, and Harald Sigurdsson (later known as Harald Hardrada), three of the most iconic figures from Viking lore. These characters navigate a turbulent world marked by internal Viking conflicts, Viking-Christian tensions, and the impending collapse of Viking power due to the rising influence of the Christian kingdoms of Europe.
The story begins with the fall of Kattegat, the iconic Viking settlement, and the rise of new political and military leaders as they attempt to preserve the Viking legacy. Leif, Freydís, and Harald’s personal journeys unfold against a backdrop of massive battles, feuds, and strategic alliances as they fight for survival, revenge, and dominance. As the Viking age reaches its end, their lives intersect with the fate of the Old Norse gods, as well as the emergence of Christianity, which will forever alter the landscape of Northern Europe.
