Netflix is partnering with MGM Television for a new original series, “Vikings: Valhalla,” from creator Michael Hirst that continues the “Vikings” series that is now in its sixth and final season on the History channel.
The new saga begins 100 years after the original series concludes and dramatizes the adventures of the most famous Vikings who ever lived — Leif Erikson, Freydis, Harald Harada and the Norman King William the Conqueror (also a Viking descendant). These men and women will blaze new paths as they fight for survival in an ever changing and evolving Europe.
