‘Vikings: Valhalla’ Season 2 Trailer and Release Date on Netflix

Netflix has revealed the trailer and premiere date for the second season of Vikings spinoff. ‘Vikings: Valhalla’ Season 2 will release on January 12, 2023, with all eight episodes on Netflix, worldwide.

Vikings: Valhalla Season 2 picks up with our warriors shortly after the tragic fall of Kattegat, an event that has shattered their dreams and changed their fates. They are forced to test their ambitions and courage in worlds beyond their familiar fjords after becoming fugitives in Scandinavia. Season 2 is a road trip for Harald and Leif: it's Thelma and Louise on the Dnieper River. They will go on this fantastic journey together. Freydis must travel to Pomerania, a harsh terrain. Season 2 will explore the world far beyond Scandinavia and Northern Europe. 

Earlier, Netflix also revealed the new characters and their description:

Harekr played by Bradley James is the ruler of Jómsborg, a legendary Viking settlement where the uber-pagans Vikings lived. He's a great warrior, but because he's pagan, he's got a target on his back for any of our pagan hunters, such as Olaf. Harekr lives by particular rules because the Jomsvikings were very strict and rigid. That's how the Jomsvikings operated; they were devoted to their leader. They would fight to the death, even if they didn't always believe their leader was right.

Mariam played by Hayat Kamille, whose name is a tribute to Mariam al-Astrulabi, the great Syrian astronomer, navigator, and mathematician from Baghdad's House of Wisdom. Mariam is an astronomer stranded in Novgorod. In our version of the story, she traveled north from Constantinople to study the heavens, specifically meteorites and that sort of thing. She is multilingual, speaking Latin, Greek, Arabic, and Russian.

King Yaroslav the Wise played by Marcin Dorociński is the ruler of Novgorod and a very successful Northern Russian warrior ruler. He is both Olaf's and Harald's uncle. Marcin Dorociski, a Polish actor who also appeared in The Queen's Gambit as a Russian, plays him.

Elena played by Sofya Lebedeva is the daughter of a Russian noble. And one of the interesting things about her is that she is from one of the northern Russian kingdoms known at the time as Chud, which had been heavily raided.

In the final episode of Season One, Harald Harefoot, grandson of Forkbeard, discovers several of Kåre's followers killed and an infuriated Leif covered in blood. Sam Corlett (Leif Eriksson), Frida Gustavsson (Freydis Eriksdotter), and Leo Suter (Harald Sigurdsson), among others, are returning for the second season.

The third season of ‘Vikings: Valhalla’ wrapped up filming in November 2022, and it is set to release in 2024.
