The Norsemen invade jolly old England in the new teaser trailer for Netflix’s series Vikings ran on History and later Amazon Prime for 89 episodes from 2013 to 2020, developing a small but loyal following in the process.
Those original six seasons of Vikings indeed proved to be quite a success for creator Michael Hirst and History as they brought epic Viking Age exploits to the small screen. Now Hirst and co-creator Jeb Stuart are teaming for a the new spinoff series Vikings: Valhalla on streaming giant Netflix. Set 100 years after the events of Vikings, the new show will tackle some of the most famous Norse figures of all, including Leif Eriksson, Freydís Eiríksdóttir, Harald Hardrada and the Norman King William the Conqueror, who famously invaded England in the year 1066.
England indeed is in for a decidedly rough time in the first season of Vikings: Valhalla as indicated by the action-packed new trailer just dropped by Netflix. Unsurprisingly, the clip promises epic battle scenes as the heavily-armed and always-aggressive Vikings descend and the English attempt to defend themselves against the onslaught. See the video in the space below:
The title Vikings: Valhalla of course refers to the Valhalla of Norse mythology (and later Marvel’s The Walking Dead's Pollyanna McIntosh (Aelfgifu of Northampton) and Soren Pilmark (King Sweyn Forkbeard).
The original Vikings series of course became something of a cult favorite when it aired on History. But Vikings: Valhalla has a chance to become much more of a viral hit given its new home on Netflix, as the streamer has much more worldwide reach. Vikings: Valhalla invades Netflix for an eight episode run beginning on February 25, 2022.
