‘Vikings: Valhalla’
Netflix’s latest action-adventure series Vikings: Valhalla is a literal and spiritual sequel to the History hit Vikings. Set in the turbulent early 1000s, the new show follows Greenlander explorers like Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett) and Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson), ambitious Norwegian warrior-princes like Harald Hardrada (Leo Suter) and Olaf Sigurdsson (Jóhannes Jóhanesson), and some of the most dangerous schemers in English history like Emma of Normundy (Laura Berlin) and Earl Godwin (David Oakes). These legends come together to tell a soapy story full of blood, betrayal, and shockingly sweet romance. Netflix’s new Vikings series is brutal and fun. You know, like all things Vikings-related should be.
