Netflix has set July 11 for the premiere of the third season of Vikings: Valhalla, sequel to the Michael Hirst-created Vikings. This highly anticipated season promises to take fans even deeper into the sagas of some of history’s most legendary Vikings.
Created by Jeb Stuart, the drama unfolds in the early 11th century, chronicling the epic adventures of Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), his sister, Freydis (Frida Gustavsson), and the Norwegian prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter).
An Intriguing Time Jump
Season three picks up seven years after the dramatic conclusion of Season Two. Now, Freydis stands as the undisputed leader of pagan Jomsborg while Leif and Harald bask in their newfound glory in Constantinople. Yet, even as they celebrate their accomplishments, greater challenges lie ahead.
A Star-Studded Cast Returns
The third season sees a return of familiar faces. Alongside Corlett, Gustavsson, and Suter, series mainstays include Laura Berlin as Emma of Normandy, David Oakes portraying Godwin, and Bradley Freegard as King Canute. Fans can also expect appearances by Pollyanna McIntosh
, who plays Queen Ælfgifu, and Soren Pilmark
as Sweyn Forkbeard.
Exciting New Adventures
Adding to the excitement, Stuart has teased that this season will present numerous surprises. Season three is very exciting, and my Vikings get out of Scandinavia, so we have lots of great surprises and stories for season three.
With Leif’s historical legacy as an explorer who reached North America centuries before Columbus adding depth to his character arc, audiences are brimming with anticipation.
A Complex Web of Characters
The intricate character dynamics continue to evolve. David Oakes shared insights on his portrayal of Godwin. He described the joys of uncovering unexpected aspects of his character’s morality and mission, highlighting Godwin as a deceptively complex figure within this rugged Viking world.
Maintaining Political Intrigue
