Here’s everything you need to know about when Netflix's Vikings Valhalla is set and its link to the original series. The offshoot of the popular History Channel Show is set 100 years after the finale of the original series.

The official synopsis reads: “Set over a thousand years ago in the early 11th century, VIKINGS: VALHALLA chronicles the heroic adventures of some of the most famous Vikings who ever lived — the legendary explorer Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), his fiery and headstrong sister Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson), and the ambitious Nordic prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter).” “As tensions between the Vikings and the English royals reach a bloody breaking point and as the Vikings themselves clash over their conflicting Christian and pagan beliefs, these three Vikings begin an epic journey that will take them across oceans and through battlefields, from Kattegat to England and beyond, as they fight for survival and glory.” The series is both a spin-off and a sequel to the popular historical drama Vikings - which aired from 2013 to 2020.
