greater challenges lie ahead in order for each to reach their ultimate
destiny. See the trailer below for the season that completes the 24 episode saga after three successful seasons.
Last year brought us quite a lot of new historical and epic shows and it the end it sadly turned out that most of them were hideously atrocious, sadly miscast or simply written by subpar writers, but among them all there was one that was actually good: refreshingly simple, not taking itself overly serious, almost flawlessly cast and dynamic VIKINGS: VALHALLA was a huge hit for Netflix and so it is no wonder that it returns with eight brand new episodes January 12th. Our 11th century heroes ambitious Nordic prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter), Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), and his fiery and headstrong sister Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida

VIKINGS VALHALLA STORY Set over a thousand years ago in the early 11th century, VALHALLA chronicles the heroic adventures of some of the most famous
Vikings who ever lived — the legendary explorer Leif Erikson (Sam
Corlett), his fiery and headstrong sister Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida
Gustavsson), and the ambitious Nordic prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo
Suter). As tensions between the Vikings and the English royals reach a
bloody breaking point and as the Vikings themselves clash over their
conflicting Christian and pagan beliefs, these three Vikings begin an
epic journey that will take them across oceans and through battlefields,
from Kattegat to England and beyond, as they fight for survival and
glory. VIKINGS: VALHALLA, set over a hundred years after the end of the
original Vikings series, is a new adventure that blends historical
authenticity and drama with gritty, immersive action!
HARALD SIGURDSSON
The great-grandson of Harald “Finehair,” Harald is a natural and charismatic leader who excels in spycraft. A Christian driven by the viking pursuit of glory, he prefers compromises when possible to avoid bloodshed. He’s taken with Freydis at first sight and the two grow close despite their opposing religious beliefs
LEIF ERIKSSON
Leif’s upbringing in Greenland makes him an outsider to the Danes, and his father’s violent legacy makes him a distrusted outsider. When he travels to Norway seeking vengeance for his sister, he hopes to earn the confidence of the vikings with his seamanship and warcraft and to step out of his father’s shadow for good.
FREYDIS ERIKSDOTTER
Unlike her brother, Leif, Freydis seems more than willing to embrace the darkness passed down by her father. A trained shieldmaiden, Freydis is one of the most formidable warriors in Norway. Her devotion to traditional beliefs is strengthened with a pilgrimage to Uppsala and a meeting with The Seer, but her faith puts her at odds with Harald.
