‘Vikings: Valhalla’ Season 2 Will Follow the Vikings Out of Scandinavia
The new Vikings spinoff, Vikings: Valhalla, picks up with the explorers in 1002. As teased by creator Jeb Stuart, the next season of the Netflix series will follow the Vikings out of Scandinavia and into new lands.
‘Vikings: Valhalla’ Season 2 is already finished
The first season of Vikings: Valhalla debuted on February 25, 2022, with eight episodes. But Netflix ordered the series for 24 episodes, which showrunners have evenly divided into three seasons.
Vikings: Valhalla Season 2 started filming in early 2021 and commenced in November. The new installment doesn’t have a premiere date yet. But when talking to Digital Spy, Stuart admitted he’s eager to release it.
“I am just finishing the editing of the last episode of season two this week,” Stuart said in the February 2022 interview. “I am dying to get it out there.”
Season 2 of ‘Vikings: Valhalla’ will follow the explorers to new worlds
Vikings: Valhalla Season 1 kicks off with the St. Brice’s Day Massacre in 1002. But the second season will literally broaden the Vikings’ horizons, and follow them into exotic new lands.
“I think in season two, [viewers] will see the Vikings sort of thrust out of Scandinavia, which is a very interesting piece,” Stuart told Newsweek. “We know that the Vikings traveled, we know that they went to the New World, but we also know that they traveled to Russia, to the Rus, as they called it, and went down the Dnieper River to the Black Sea.”
The showrunner also revealed that the Vikings’ trade will take them into the Middle East. “They were great traders,” Stuart said. So they went to Constantinople, they went to Egypt, they went through the Middle East.”
“Viking DNA is found almost all over that part of Europe,” he added. “They went to the Iberian Peninsula and obviously England and Ireland. So you can probably guess that my Vikings are going to get on their boats and explore a little bit.”
Jeb Stuart also teases what to expect from ‘Vikings: Valhalla’ Season 3
Fans should get a new season of the Netflix series soon. But Stuart has his focus set on Vikings: Valhalla Season 3 and beyond.
When talking to Digital Spy, the Die Hard screenwriter hinted at what fans can expect from the third season. And he also revealed what he has mapped out for future installments.
“Season three [which films in Ireland in the summer] is very exciting and my Vikings get out of Scandinavia,” Stuart shared. “So we have lots of great surprises and stories for season three.”
“My story carries on past [a third season] and I would love more time to tell the full story, I would love more time to get to the fact that William the Conqueror puts an end to the Viking Age,” he added. “That story involves Harald Sigurdsson and that story involves a lot of our characters like Emma and Godwin.”
Vikings: Valhalla Season 1 is currently streaming on Netflix.
