‘Vikings: Valhalla’ Stars and Showrunner Break Down That Bloody Season 1 Finale

Netflix New Viking Series: Valhalla weave together the hero of Norse legend into a new dramatic brand in history. A set of about a century after the original Viking event, the Netflix series followed the initial exploitation of Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson), and Harald Hardrada (Leo Suter). Not an impressive legendary figure, this young Viking met each other in the famous Kattlegut city before starting the first part of their trip.

Made by JEB Stuart, Vikings: Valhalla Season 1 follows the invasion of King Canute (Bradley Freegley) in England, the appearance of Freydis as the “last” daughter of Uppsala, and the dissolution of half the Olaf’s brother (Jóhannes Jóhanesson) and Harald’s relationship. The last episode showed us the brutal invasion of Kattegut, Norwegian fortress known as the hometown of Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) in the original Viking. Christian Zealot Jarl Kåre (Asbjørn Krogh Nissen) has decided to pay for an all-out war in Viking Pagan. Joining him in his search was Olaf, who was not only a Christian, but also hoped to push Jarl Haakon (Caroline Henderson) out of the way so he could consolidate power and become the King of Norway. Olaf has also cooperated with the first wife of King Canute, ælfgifu (Pollyanna Mcintosh), to hold the Danish fleet and to eliminate the new wife of Canute Emma from Normandy (Laura Berlin) from the picture.

It’s a lot to make sense. There are bends, double trajectories, and one dispute for the viking soul. So what really happened in Viking: Valhalla finale? Who wins? Who died? And what does Leif mean at the last moment means for the future series? Decider spoke with Viking stars: Valhalla and Creator Jeb Stuart to find out …

Vikings: Valhalla Ending Explained: Who Lives? Who Dies? Who Goes Berserk?

For a short time, in the season 1 finale of Vikings: Valhalla, it looks like everything is gone. We were led to believe that ælfgifu had surpassed Emma, ​​Kattlegut was conquered, and Leif Liv (LIJZA Richter) boyfriend was dead. As happened, it’s not too bad. Not too. Earl Godwin (David Oakes) managed to establish ælfgifu for failure, making tricks so Emma can send the Canute Navy to Categut in time to route Olaf. Although Jarl Haakon and many of the Bergahah Kategut was killed in the Olaf invasion, Viking Boorises had to escape from the city when the Canute ships arrived. So Kattegut is now in Canute’s hand.

That said, Liv was killed in a fight. The last shot of the season was Leif bleeded staring at the camera after going to shoper in Olaf’s troops. This is a big change for character, which has been afraid of his anger throughout the season. However, once Liv – the main source of peace – was killed, Leif gave up on a darker side of his soul.

“I think he reaches that point, there is a part of Leif, who always wants me to play, that is, he and Freydis are the red Erik kids. And we know that Erik Red has a very dark stomach too. He is a Norse Viking who was expelled To Iceland. He killed someone in Iceland, he was expelled and he had to find Greenland, “Jeb Stuart to determine the end of this season. “Who is this man? And why did he spawn these two children who were very different but they realized various parts of their father.”

“So I think you see a little red erik out in the end and what he does is the character is very interesting in the future,” Stuart said.

Will There Be a Vikings: Valhalla Season 2 on Netflix?

Yes! There will be. Netflix originally ordered 24 episodes of Viking: Valhalla, aka three seasons out of the gate! There are unconfirmed rumors that Viking: Valhalla Season 2 has wrapped up. More importantly, it was clear when decider interviewed the cast and the creator that they believed about the direction of the show would happen next.

In Sagas Norse, Leif Eriksson finally moved from losing Liv and fell in love with a woman named Thorgunna. They are married and have children. So, should we assume that the thorgunna will appear in the future of Vikings: Valhalla? Jeb Stuart teases, “we might.”

Decider also asked Stuart if he had plans to take Leif and Freydis to Vinland, aka North America, per sagas. He said, “I will not take them there,” before adding that the goal for Viking: Valhalla is to tell the story of how Greenlander’s siblings become explorers.

Of course, Leif and Freydis are not the only character with epic stories that still have to be told. The event has determined that Olaf and King Canute is outside, and with Harald betraying Olaf for Freydis and Kattlegut, there is bad blood between Brothing Brewing. In real life, the three men (and Bastard Olaf Magnus) were locked in bitter battles for the Norwegian throne. Given that Viking: Valhalla has introduced Magnus in the background as slices between brothers, we hope the next season plays with this dynamic too.

“[Godwin] does not have a final goal for the season 1. He has a final goal for all five seasons owned by JEB in his mind,” Oakes told Decider. “I certainly didn’t think Godwin was just a survivors of all costs. He was slow and he was patient and he was an extraordinary developing narrative that he was waiting to see how the world was revealed.”

Oakes continued to tempt it while we got tastes of Godwin’s struggling skills in the scene with Prince Edmund (Louis Davidson), we could see more. “You have to wonder if he can beat the young Prince who is truly trained, what will he do on the battlefield?” The actor also joked that “if I was killed at this event before I get a longship viking I would be annoyed.”

“I want the doll, I want to sail bigger, I want a shield. And then yes, I’ll die happily,” Oakes said.
