Valhalla's Seer: The Only Vikings Character To Return (& Why)
Vikings: Valhalla follows a new generation of warriors and enemies, but there’s one character from Vikings that returned: The Seer, and here’s why. Historical dramas have become very popular in recent years, and one of the most successful TV shows from this branch is Vikings. Created by Michael Hirst, Vikings premiered on the History Channel in 2013 and came to an end in 2020 after six seasons, but there are many more stories from the Viking Age to tell, and so a sequel series was announced in 2019.
Titled Vikings: Valhalla, the series is set over a century after the events of Vikings and as such it follows new characters and storylines separate from those of Ragnar and his sons. Valhalla follows Leif Erikson (Sam Corlett), Freydís Eiríksdóttir (Frida Gustavsson), and Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter) as they embark on a journey that takes them across oceans and battlefields, from Kattegat to England, to the pagan temple in Uppsala and beyond. All this with the conflict between Vikings and English royals (pagans vs Christians) as the backdrop and the moving force for some characters, as was the case of Freydís.

The mysterious character appeared to Freydís and Jarl Kåre (Asbjørn Krogh Nissen) to tell them about their destinies, and his appearance came as a real surprise to Vikings fans – but why did he return?
