History’s hit series has scored a prequel series with original creator Michael Hirst. According to multiple outlets, the streaming giant has ordered 24 episodes of the new series — well before the original is set to debut its sixth and final season December 4. 

Vikings: Valhalla is set 100 years after the original and “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. This is the explosive next chapter of the Vikings legend.”

“I am beyond excited that we are announcing the continuation of our Vikings saga,” Hirst said in a statement. “I know that the millions of our fans across the globe will be thrilled by the belief being shown in our show by MGM and Netflix. Jeb Stuart, a truly wonderful writer, will bring new storylines and a powerful visceral vision to stories about some of the most famous Vikings known to history.”

Vikings: Valhalla promises to be everything that fans love about the franchise: heart-pounding, unstoppable action rooted in rich characters and dramatic storytelling that shines the light on family, loyalty, and power,” said Channing Dungey, vice president of original series at Netflix.

Deadline confirms that Vikings recently wrapped production on its sixth and now final season. 

The upcoming 20-episode sixth season is expected to debut later this year.

Vikings has currently aired half of season five’s episode, with the season finale set to air this month. Series creator Michael Hirst said back in November, that fans should brace themselves for the season finale. 

“There is an extraordinary twist right at the end of the season, which brings about a change that you just haven’t seen coming, that seemed impossible,” Hirst teased. “So basically, you will experience, as you watch it, very unexpected twists and turns. But right at the end, there is something that — a story changing, and you can’t see that coming.”

But there is some hope for Vikings fans. Deadline also confirmed that Hirst and studio MGM Television are in talks for a possible spinoff series. The same creative team as the original series had been set to helm the production, which would continue the Vikings epic.
