The Vikings saga will be coming to an end with Season 3 of Netflix’s series Vikings: Valhalla. The Vikings series has been pretty awesome, and I’ve enjoyed Vikings: Valhalla for the most part, but fans have only one more season to enjoy that will wrap up the story. I’ve also included some photos from that final season.
The series is set in the 11th century and chronicles the legendary adventures of some of the most famous Vikings who ever lived – Leif Eriksson, played by Sam Corlett, Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson), Harald Hardrada (Leo Suter), and the Norman King William the Conqueror.
The series was created by Jeb Stuart, and it served as a sequel to the Michael Hirst-created Vikings. Stuart said in a statement to IGN: “I am so grateful to have had three seasons to tell the stories of Leif, Harald and Freydis. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to show the evolution of how three of the most famous Vikings became the icons we know today and we have done just that. I hope when the audience gets to see the new season, they’ll be excited by all the new heights that we’ve taken these heroes. When we started this project 5 years ago, I worked hard with this incredible cast and crew to craft a journey that we all hoped would be satisfying.”
He went on to say that the series is coming to and end on his own terms with the story that he was looking to tell: “Of course with real historical figures, there are always more aspects of their lives that could be explored, but it made sense story-wise for our Leif, Freydis and Harald’s voyages to end with our third season. And we really cannot wait for the fans to see the conclusion of this chapter of history.”
Yeah, it’s a bit of a bummer that the show is coming to an end, but it’s been a great and enjoyable ride.
