All eight episodes of the first season will be available on Wednesday, January 20. The drama has already been renewed for a second season, which is currently in production in Ireland.
The drama chronicles the rise of one of history's most famous Norse raiders, Erik Bloodaxe (Molyneux), and his formidable wife Gunnhild, Mother of Kings (Madsen). As they fight for the throne of Norway, the land is torn apart by fierce rivals, shifting loyalties, and bloody betrayals. With war looming and chaos consuming the kingdom, drawing in the ruthless Kings of other Scandinavian countries, and even a powerful English ruler, the stage is set for a thundering, cataclysmic, compelling and utterly magical new Norse Saga.
In addition to Molyneux and Madsen, the drama stars Karlis Arnolds Avots, Levi Miller, Rod Hallett, Alina Tomnikov, Sisse Marie, Rune Temte and Jesper Christensen.
Michael Hirst and Horatio Hirst created the drama. They executive produce with Morgan O'Sullivan, Steve Stark, Arturo Interian, John Weber, Sheila Hockin and Fred Toye. MGM Television, O'Sullivan Productions and Toluca Pictures produce.
