Along with the first announcement, Deadline revealed that Netflix had ordered an unusual amount of episodes. 24 episodes had been ordered for Vikings: Valhalla upfront which is very irregular from Netflix. directly people began to speculate: is that this only one season or more? in any case , the last three seasons for the first Vikings series comprised of 20 episodes that were split in half and 24 isn’t really that faraway from 20.
Season 1 has been in development for quite a while . We got a primary look behind the scenes at Netflix’s Geeked Week with more news confirmed for Netflix’s Tadum event at the top of September 2021.
But now things has more clarity because it seems like these 24 episodes are going to be divided across three seasons, with each season having 8 episodes We also are happy to reveal that the writing process for Vikings: Valhalla season 3 is now underway with season 2 already complete.
This information comes courtesy of a replacement writer that recently joined the team of Vikings: Valhalla for its third season. Dana Fainaru‘s agency CV states Dana is currently writing one episode of the third season of VIKINGS: VALHALLA for MGM Television/Netflix after having written one episode for eleventh season of DEATH IN PARADISE for Mars Pictures.
A big order of this type is unusual but does demonstrate Netflix’s trust within the sequel series doing well. Of course, they carry Vikings (with more regions learning the show over the past 2 years) so have many data knowing how well the mothership show does.

Production for the primary season of Vikings: Valhalla was halted earlier this year with approximately 5 out of 8 episodes completed. We’ve yet to possess confirmation that production is back on target . Whenever it does, we might expect Netflix to undertake and film the remaining 16 episodes back to back in order that they are often released with none delays.
