Vikings: Valhalla Release Date Set For February On Netflix
The upcoming historical drama Vikings: Valhalla will officially premiere on Netflix on February 25, 2022. The new show coming to Netflix will spin off the original show Vikings, which first aired in 2013 on the History channel. Emboldened by medieval tales of the legendary Norsemen, the original series loosely follows the infamous Viking Ragnar Lothbrok as he rises from farmer to Scandanavian King. The hit show concluded in 2020 after a 6 season run, and although Lothbrok died in the series, audiences wonder how his legacy will influence the upcoming project.
Vikings: Valhalla will pick up around a century after History's original series Vikings left off. The new show will showcase several perspectives from the Vikings after they have ravaged and dominated most of England and claimed ownership of Normandy. The original series focuses more on Lothbrok and his band of Vikings as they make their forceful rise. Historical figures expected to make appearances throughout the new series include Leif Eriksson, Freydís Eiríksdóttir, Harald Hardrada, and William the Conqueror. Vikings' original mastermind and show creator, Michael Hirst, returns as showrunner and will likely begin connecting the dots between the old and the new.
As shared by Netflix Geeked on Twitter, Vikings: Valhalla is officially scheduled to premiere on Netflix on February 25, 2022. The series will follow historical Viking figures as they fight for survival amidst England's stand against them. The popular Twitter account also hyped up a few other big releases coming in 2022 including The Witcher: Blood Origin, Stranger Things season 4, and an animated Magic: The Gathering series.
The official release date for Vikings: Valhalla comes after much hype and speculation surrounding the new project. Dedicated audiences of the show are aware that "Valhalla" is not a new terminology being introduced here. However, the title certainly heightens fans' curiosity about how the name will ultimately impact the new series. There is also the question of how Lothbrok's legacy is incorporated in the wake of his death. Additionally, actor Stephen Hogan recently revealed a spoiler regarding the fate of his English Lord character.
Audiences have a lot to look forward to when Vikings: Valhalla begins its streaming run on Netflix, and now that an official date is set, the excitement and hype around its launch can begin to build even further. The connections to be made between the original series and the new show are sure to keep fans intrigued. Furthermore, the new show has the opportunity to imaginatively bring completion to the saga of the Viking's rise and fall. With the original and talented creative team in place, Vikings: Valhalla has the potential to be one of the more interesting historically-based shows to hit screens in a while.
