Bradley Freegard plays King Canute , surrounded by legendary warriors.
It’sa good time for lovers of all things Norse. In April, Robert Eggers’ The Northman (see p12) will blow into cinemas, with its tale of a vengeful Viking prince. But for those that need their fix sooner, there is Vikings: Valhalla, the new Netflix-streamed spin-off of Michael Hirst’s Vikings that moves the action on a hundred years from the original show’s tales of legendary warrior Ragnar Lothbrok. While there will be nods to that six-season series here, they will be subtle, promises creator/showrunner Jeb Stuart.
