Netflix wraps production on Vikings: Valhalla season 2

Netflix hasn’t even dropped the first season of its Vikings spinoff show yet, but it’s already wrapped on season 2! And season 3 isn’t far behind.

Netflix is not messing around with Vikings: Valhalla, the spinoff series to History’s popular Vikings. The streamer ordered 26 episodes of the new series — which is set decades after the first and features a new cast of historical figures — to be parceled out over the course of three seasons. The first season is already shot and the second just wrapped, according to What’s On Netflix. And there’s a third on the way!

Clearly, Netflix thinks it has something spectacular here if it’s willing to make such a big investment up front. The show will feature real-life Viking icons like Leif Erikson (Sam Corlett) and Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson), although in true Vikings tradition we can expect plenty of fiction and conjecture to be mixed in there.

The actual news of the warp comes from cast and crew members posting about it on social media, like stuntwoman Caroline Simonnet. “Season 2 just wrapped on upcoming [Vikings: Valhalla]!” she wrote on Instagram. “Had the pleasure to work on the show alongside my Irish bros/sistas and it’s set to be EPIC! Especially with Die Hard’s Jeb Stuart at the helm”

We don’t have an exact release date for Vikings: Valhalla as of yet, but expect the first season to drop on Netflix sometime in 2022. And with Netflix planning so far ahead, we shouldn’t have to wait too long after that for seasons 2 and 3.
