How Valhalla Can End Rollo's Vikings Story
Vikings: Valhalla is set many, many years after the events of Vikings, but it can still properly end Rollo’s story, which was left open in the main series – and here’s how it can do it. Historical dramas have gained force in recent years, and one of the most popular ones is Vikings, created by Michael Hirst. Vikings premiered on the History Channel in 2013, and while it was originally planned to be a miniseries, it lived on for a total of six seasons, coming to an end in December 2020 – however, the Vikings universe isn’t over yet, and it will continue with the sequel series Vikings: Valhalla.
Vikings explored the early years of the Viking Age, beginning with the Lindisfarne raid as depicted in season 1. The series was initially led by legendary Norse figure Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel), but as the series progressed, it shifted its focus to his sons – Björn, Ubbe, Hvitserk, Sigurd, and Ivar – and their journeys and battles. Although Vikings introduced some notable figures from the Viking Age and its legends (as not all characters are confirmed to have existed), there are many others who haven’t been introduced and many more stories to explore, and that’s when Vikings: Valhalla kicks in.
