Vikings: Valhalla is the continuation to Vikings, set in a different era from the Viking Age and focusing on a new generation of characters, and season 1 was full of action, betrayal, and turning points for some of the main characters. Created by Michael Hirst, Vikings premiered on the History Channel in 2013, and even though it was originally planned to be a miniseries, the audience was instantly captivated by the stories of Ragnar, Rollo, Lagertha, Floki, and more. Vikings lived on for a total of six seasons and came to an end in 2020, but that wasn’t the end of the tales from the Viking Age.
Vikings explored the early years of the Viking Age, beginning with the Lindisfarne raid (shown in season 1), and it was initially led by legendary Norse warrior Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel). The series gradually shifted its focus to Ragnar’s sons – Björn, Ivar, Ubbe, Hvitserk, Sigurd, and Ivar – as it progressed, making them the protagonists after Ragnar’s death in season 4 and until the end of the series. Vikings brought the arcs of all its characters to a full end, but there are many other tales, events, and characters to explore from other eras from the Viking Age, and so a sequel series was announced in 2019, titled Vikings: Valhalla.
