Where Was Vikings: Valhalla Filmed? Filming Locations Explained
Netflix’s Vikings: Valhalla shares filming locations with its parent series, History Channel’s Vikings; here are the filming locations explained. Valhalla was created by Jeb Stuart but included Vikings creator Michael Hirst among its executive producers, and it’s the direct sequel of the History Channel series, although the events narrated in Valhalla happened around a century after those depicted in Vikings season 6. Vikings: Valhalla season 1 consists of eight episodes, which will all be simultaneously released on Netflix on February 25.
History’s Vikings focused on the early years of the Viking Age, even depicting the Lindisfarne raid in Vikings season 1, which is commonly established as the raid that marks the beginning of the age among historians. Valhalla is set towards the Viking Age’s end, however, roughly between 1002 and 1066. The defeat of King of Norway, Harald “Hardrada” Sigurdsson by the Saxon King Harold Godwinson in the Battle of Stamford Bridge is the event set as the end of the Viking Age. Hardrada and King Godwinson’s father, Earl Godwin, are both main characters of Vikings: Valhalla, respectively played by Leo Suter and David Oakes. Valhalla also focuses on Leif Erikson (Sam Corlett), son of Erik the Red and the first European to set foot in North America, and Freydís Eiríksdóttir (Frida Gustavsson), his sister, who will become a leader of the Old Norse religion against soaring Christianity among Scandinavians.
