Sharjah24 – Reuters: The new show "Vikings: Valhalla", which premieres on Netflix on Friday (February 25), pairs history with drama to narrate Viking adventures from more than 1,000 years ago, starting with a revenge mission against the English throne.
Set some 100 years after the end of the hit series "Vikings", it tells the tales of Norse figures like explorer Leif Eriksson, his headstrong sister Freydis Eriksdotter and determined Prince Harald Sigurdsson.
The plot follows Greenlanders Leif and Freydis who travel to Kattegat on a personal vendetta, but he is soon drawn by Harald (Leo Suter) and King Canute (Bradley Freegard) to avenge fellow Vikings killed in England.
Meanwhile Freydis, portrayed by Frida Gustavsson, is taken under the wing of female Kattegat leader Jarl Haakon, played by Caroline Henderson, developing a strong bond also shared by the two actresses.
The series features plenty of seafaring and bloody battles. It also looks at the distrust between pagan and Christian Vikings.
