Vikings: Valhalla Cast & Real Life Character Guide
Vikings: Valhalla is the sequel series to Vikings, and as it’s set over a century after the events of the original series, it follows new characters that will continue the legacy of Ragnar Lothbrok and company, and here’s the cast and character guide for the series, along with how they looked in real life. One of the most popular historical dramas in recent years is Vikings, created by Michael Hirst (The Tudors) and which debuted on the History Channel in 2013. Vikings was initially planned to be a miniseries, but the first episodes were so successful that the series lived on for six seasons, coming to an end in 2020.
Vikings initially followed legendary Norse warrior Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) and his travels and raids alongside his Viking brothers, among those his real brother, Rollo (Clive Standen), and his best friend and Kattegat’s best boat builder, Floki (Gustaf Skarsgård). As the series progressed, it shifted its focus to Ragnar’s sons – Björn, Ubbe, Hvitserk, Sigurd, and Ivar –, who took the lead after Ragnar’s death in season 4 and until the series’ end. Vikings explored the early years of the Viking Age, beginning with the Lindisfarne raid, but six seasons weren’t enough to tell the most notable stories from the Viking Age, and so a sequel series was announced in 2019.
