Netflix showed off a brief clip from the upcoming second season of Vikings: Valhalla during its 2022 Tudum Global Fan Event, held virtually on Saturday, September 24, 2022. The new minute-and-a-half clip confirms Leif Eriksson has reunited with his sister, Freydis, and Harald Sigurdsson. It also reveals their group will be surrounded on a beach by forces led by Olaf.
The odds are stacked against them until fireballs launched from what we can assume is at least one ship even things up.
The streaming service has confirmed the action series will run for three eight-episode seasons. The first season debuted in February 2022, and season two wrapped up production in early 2022. Netflix didn’t announce a premiere date but did tease that the new season will arrive in 2023.
Season two’s confirmed cast includes Sam Corlett as Leif Eriksson, Frida Gustavsson as Freydis Eriksdotter, Leo Suter as Harald Sigurdsson, and Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson as Olaf Haraldsson. Jeb Stuart created the series, based on Michael Hirst’s Vikings, and serves as executive producer and showrunner.
Additional executive producers include Hirst, Morgan O’Sullivan, Sheila Hockin, Steve Stark, James Flynn, John Weber, Sherry Marsh, Alan Gasmer, and Paul Buccieri.
“Fans of Valhalla — THANK YOU to the millions of you who have watched (and rewatched!) Season One. The numbers have been mind-boggling and beyond my wildest expectations. I’m thrilled to be able to confirm that we wrapped and are already editing Season Two and that production will start soon on Season Three. While the storylines for Leif, Freydis, Harald, Olaf, Canute, and the rest of our amazing cast are secret, I can say without hesitation that their journeys will be even more epic than what you’ve seen so far. SKÅL!!!” stated creator Jeb Stuart back in March 2022.
A Look Back at Season 1:
Season one of Vikings: Valhalla – now streaming – chronicles the heroic adventures of some of the most famous Vikings who ever lived — the legendary explorer Leif Eriksson (Corlett), his fiery and headstrong sister Freydis Eriksdotter (Gustavsson), and the ambitious Nordic prince Harald Sigurdsson (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.
