Netflix's Vikings: Valhalla Season 2 Debuts In 2023, Season 3 Production Starts This Spring

Netflix's Vikings: Valhalla has been renewed for Season 3, mere weeks after Season 1 debuted back on February 25. The drama was originally announced to have 24 episodes, which confirms a total of three, eight-episode seasons.

"Fans of Valhalla--thank you to the millions of you who have watched (and rewatched!) Season One. The numbers have been mind-boggling and beyond my wildest expectations," said Jeb Stuart, the creator, showrunner, and executive producer of Vikings: Valhalla. "I'm thrilled to be able to confirm that we have wrapped and are already editing Season 2 and that production will start soon on Season 3."

Valhalla is a spin-off of History Channel/Amazon Prime Video's Vikings series, which ran for six seasons. Back in 2020, Vikings showrunner Hirst discussed why he chose to end the show after six seasons. "I had to give these various storylines a satisfying conclusion--a conclusion that didn't cheat in any way," he explained. "And I felt that if I could come up with endings that were satisfactory and felt justified, then the audience would hopefully feel the same because I love these characters so much and it was very important to me."

As in the original series, much of the conflict comes from the vikings feuding among themselves--splitting into Pagans and Christians. The series stars Bradley Freegard, Jóhannes Jóhannesson, Laura Berlin, David Oakes, and Caroline Henderson. Stuart will executive produce alongside Morgan O'Sullivan, Michael Hirst, Sheila Hockin, Steve Stark, James Flynn, John Weber, Sherry Marsh, and Alan Gasmer.

On March 2, Netflix announced it was pumping the brakes on all future Russian projects and acquisitions. The streaming service had four reported original projects in the pipeline.
