What is ‘Vikings: Valhalla’ Season 2 about?

Now that we know the release date and time for Vikings: Valhalla Season 2, let’s dig into the plot. The second outing picks up after the events of Vikings: Valhalla Season 1, focusing heavily on Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), Herald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter), and Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson). The trio will have their courage and values tested throughout season 2.

According to Netflix’s official synopsis for season 2, here’s what else viewers can expect:
