Especially with large series streaming services, long waiting times for new seasons are unfortunately not uncommon (there was almost three years between the third and fourth seasons of “Stranger Things”!). Fortunately, Vikings: Valhalla is a welcome exception. This is mainly because it was already clear before the start of the historic series that there would be a second season and the work on that was already in full swing when season 1 came out. After the success of “Vikings” it was already certain that the spin-off set would also be a great success 100 years later.
And so the sequel is already in the starting blocks. With the start we once predicted in 2022, it won’t happen again, but next year it’s time: The eight again second season of Vikings: Valhalla will be released on January 12, 2023 Netflix – and thus less than a year after the first season, which came out in February of this year. Netflix itself revealed this – and promptly provided a bunch of new photos:
Leif, Freydís and Harald are back
The above images mainly focus on the well-known main characters from season 1: Viking Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), his sister Freydís Eiríksdóttir (Frida Gustavsson) and the Norwegian prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter) are also fighting for their future Season 2 puts their lives at stake, but eventually they end up in an unfamiliar environment. The new episodes begin shortly after the fall of the Viking stronghold of Kattegat, at a time when many Vikings fled their homeland far beyond Scandinavia.
That in the second season of “Valhalla” we will also be on the road in other areas is also suggested by all sorts of new characters, now presented in other pictures:
New faces include Harekr (Bradley James), the leader of the pagan Viking retreat Jómsborg, Mariam (Hayat Kamille), a mysterious astronomer from Constantinople, the North Russian king and Harald’s uncle Yaroslav the Wise (Marcin Dorocinski), and Elena ( Sofia Lebedeva). ), the daughter of a Russian nobleman.
Season 3 has already been decided
By the way: Even after Season 2, waiting for “Vikings: Valhalla” replenishment should be limited. Netflix has ordered 24 episodes of the series from the start, which are divided into eight episodes each over three seasons. With the second season coming out so early in the year, the third season could also potentially make its way to Netflix in 2023, but no later than early 2024.
The fact that season 3 is supposed to show how the Vikings left Scandinavia and how William the Conqueror ended the era of the Nordic warriors could also be the last season.
