Viking fans have been living in a drought ever since the original show ended. However, Vikings Valhalla give the fans something to cheer for. Now, after binging the first season, fans are waiting for Vikings Valhalla Season 2. So, let’s discuss what we know about it.
What Will Happen in Viking Valhalla Season 2?
In the first season of Viking Valhalla, viewers saw Jarl Haakon was seemingly dead. It also revealed that Olaf has deliberately given Harald the wrong news so that the defenders would have to divide their men. On the other hand, Kåre was killed by Freydis and later left with Harald. And Forkbeard managed to take charge of the Danish fleet with some assistance from Emma. He attacked Kattegat. That ended Olaf’s brief rule on the city. Meanwhile, Liv died in the arms of Leif, which activated the killer inside him. The first season concluded on a cliffhanger while Leif drills to attack Canute’s son, Svein.
When the series returns for Viking Valhalla Season 2, it is likely to continue the story after the jaw-dropping ending of the first season. In the upcoming season, viewers might see Leif discovering the boy’s originality. Also, he will attempt to locate his sister and Harald. Furthermore, the second season could follow Canute and his family looking for Olaf while Emma converges her power in England.

All this was something that he could have never imagined in his wildest dreams. On the other hand, Canute and his family’s kingdom were put in a dangerous position. This was because of the sudden rise of Edmund.
The noblemen of England considered Edmund their rightful king, and the common folks also accepted his leadership. So, when Edmund was killed, his death put an end to any potential mutiny in the future. Godwin maintained England’s peace by sacrificing his son as king.
