Back in 2015 our own Olympus Athens wrote a joke article about a spinoff to the hit History Channel series Vikings titled Valhalla. As it turns out, that harmless April Fools’ Day gag was somewhat prophetic.
A new Vikings spinoff/sequel series from original creator Michael Hirst and MGM Television has been announced titled Vikings: Valhalla, which will be coming to Netflix. You can find a description of the series and quotes from Hirst and others below.
Whoa!!! The Vikings Season 5 trailer was dropped at San Diego Comic-Con yesterday and to no one’s surprise, it looks epic! Last season, which saw the death of protagonist, Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel), and the rise of his sons, Bjorn, Ivar, Ubbe, Hvitserk, and Sigurd (Alexander Ludwig, Alex Høgh Andersen, Jordan Patrick Smith, Marco Ilsø, David Lindström), and ended with Ivar killing Sigurd.
