VIKINGS VALHALLA NETFLIX. A new success for Netflix, the Vikings Valhalla series has been well received by subscribers. Will we soon be able to see a season 2 of the Vikings spin-off?
[Mis à jour le 2 mars 2022 à 11h21] After Vikings ended, fans can find its spin-off on Netflix. Vikings Valhalla offers to continue the experience with a series set 100 years after the events of the main series. It is therefore not necessary to have seen Vikings to enjoy Valhalla. Fans of the first series, however, will appreciate the references and nods scattered throughout the first season. The series, available to all Netflix subscribers, saw its season 1 broadcast in full on February 25, 2022. The opportunity for viewers to discover the new protagonists of the series (Leif Eriksson, his sister Freydis Eriksdotter and Prince Harald Sigurdsson) as well as the intrigues and conflicts in which they are enmeshed.
In any case, Netflix subscribers visibly responded present en masse at the launch of Vikings: Valhalla. In fact, the platform streaming by subscription unveiled the first viewing figures for season 1. In its first week, Vikings Valhalla accumulated 80.56 million hours watched worldwide. A very positive first assessment for the series which should continue to interest Netflix subscribers for several weeks. Will they have the pleasure of finding Vikings Valhalla for a season 2?
While Vikings was entitled to 6 seasons, we can expect that its spin-off Vikings: Valhalla could also extend over several seasons. Let the fans be reassured, Vikings Valhalla will be entitled to several seasons. To be precise, Netflix has ordered 24 episodes of Vikings: Valhalla, which corresponds to three seasons of 8 episodes each. At this stage, season 2 has already been shot and is in post-production. Jeb Stuart, showrunner of the series, has already spoken about season 2 of Vikings Valhalla with Collider. Stuart announces that he considers this season 2 to have “a different vibe. The same characters move through the story and progress in a straight line in this direction but they will be able to move and change. I see it as a continuous story but, in same time, each season has its own identity.”
Synopsis – 100 years after the events of “Vikings”, tensions between the Vikings and English royalty reach a point of no return. Within the Vikings themselves, points of contention emerged between pagan and Christian beliefs. Three Vikings reveal themselves in hopes of bringing survival and glory to their people: explorer Leif Eriksson, his sister Freydis Eriksdotter, and Prince of the North Harald Sigurdsson.
Currently, Vikings: Valhalla has one season. This is posted on Netflix on February 25, 2022 at 9:01 am. In total, eight episodes will make up this season 1 and will retrace the beginning of the epic of Harald Sigurdsson, Leif Eriksson and Freydis Eriksdotter. For now, the detail and synopsis of these episodes is not known.

Vikings: Valhalla is set 100 years after the events of the original series, Vikings. Logically, therefore, we should not find the characters of the old series. It is therefore difficult to imagine the return of Ragnar Lothbrok, especially since the character died in a pit filled with snakes. However, it is quite possible that we discover characters who are linked to Ragnar in this spin -off, failing to find the hero of the original series.
Vikings: Valhalla is a streaming-exclusive series. It is put online on the Netflix platform on February 25, 2022. You must therefore have a subscription to be able to discover the spin-off (but also the sequel) of Vikings in legal streaming. Being an original production of Netflix, the series should not one day be broadcast on television or be accessible on other platforms.
