Teaser Trailer: Netflix's "Vikings: Valhalla"

Via Dark Horizons:

Netflix has released a teaser trailer for “Vikings: Valhalla,” their spin-off of fan-favorite historical drama “Vikings”.

Set in the early 11th century, a hundred years past the original series, this will explore the decline of Viking culture as the conflict between Nordic and British kingdoms is reaching a critical juncture, while conflicting Christian and pagan beliefs threaten to tear them apart from within.

Sam Corlett leads the cast as legendary explorer Leif Eriksson. He’s joined by Old Norse religious leader Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson), and the ambitious Nordic prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter).

Bradley Freegard, Johannes Haukur Johannesson, David Oakes, Laura Berlin and Caroline Henderson co-star while creators Michael Hirst and Jeb Stuart return for the spinoff with Stuart serving as showrunner.

Edit - Sheesh... How did I forget to put my thoughts in here? I love telling people what I think

I loved Vikings, all of it. A lot of people I know dropped off when Fimmel left but I still thought it was really great. Like all spinoffs/sequels I approach this with some hesitation but I really do not only want this to be great but I hope they show off some more really good unknown actors.

his lungs pulled out of his back. And if he screams in pain, he is refused an entrance into Valhalla.

Sorry, but there is nothing about a culture that comes up with that kind of sadistic murder that excites me.

It's how they landed in America as well.

They were all here in the U.S.A. at the time of the Civil War but there's no family history of it. They were out West on the Pacific side of the nation taking care of their cows.

Oh, they were always kind to the Indians and such, but it never seemed to occur to them that their homesteads had ever belonged to anyone else. Or maybe they just didn't want to think about it too much.

Sort of like people who get all uncomfortable about Critical Race theory today.
