Netflix has released brand new first look images of the upcoming historical drama Vikings: Valhalla along with the much sought-after release date.

The upcoming series is a spinoff of the highly popular and critically acclaimed series Vikings that wrapped up with its sixth season in December 2020. Vikings: Valhalla is set over a hundred years after the end of the original series, and will tell the stories of three of the era's most famous (as well as infamous) Vikings: the legendary explorer Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), his sister and Old Norse religious leader Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson), and the ambitious Nordic prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter).

The story takes place at a point in history where tensions between the Vikings and British are reaching a breaking point. With war brewing, the Vikings also clash with one another over their conflicting Christian and pagan beliefs. Amidst all this turmoil these three set out on a journey that will bring them across seas and battlefields as they fight to survive and hunt for glory. The new series promises to be "a new adventure that blends historical authenticity and drama with gritty, immersive action." The series will see the return of the Vikings' creators Michael Hirst and Jeb Stuart returning for the spinoff series as executive producers, with Stuart also serving as showrunner.
