'There's more story to tell': Netflix's Vikings Valhalla could return after season 3

Vikings Valhalla's creator has suggested that Netflix's hit historical drama could continue in some form after its third season.

Speaking exclusively to TechRadar ahead of Vikings Valhalla season 2's release, showrunner Jeb Stuart expressed his hope that Netflix renews the show for a fourth season or potentially greenlights some spin-offs.

Currently, Vikings Valhalla is set to end after its third season, with Netflix only renewing it for two more instalments (in March 2022) after season one's launch. Additionally, Valhalla's story has been confirmed to conclude with the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066, which marked the end of the Viking Age.

Vikings Valhalla season three, which has already been filmed, is sure to wrap up one of the best Netflix shows' primary stories by depicting the Battle of Stamford Bridge on the small screen. If the series' third entry does bring the curtain down the Viking era, viewers might wonder how it can continue with no more story left to tell.

Stuart, though, is optimistic about Valhalla's future post-season three. The Fugitive and Die Hard writer wouldn't comment on whether season three will actually end with the Battle of Stamford Bridge, or if Netflix had quietly informed him it would renew Vikings Valhalla for a fourth season. However, Stuart is extremely open to returning for more instalments, citing his desire to continue the journeys of Leif Erikson, Harald Sigurdsson, and Freydís Eiríksdóttir in some guise.

"We've completed [filming on] season three," Stuart confirmed when TechRadar asked for an update on its development. "And we'll be working on it [post-production] for several more months. 

"It's been a terrific journey for us, but we feel like there's more of the Valhalla story to tell. We hope our good friends at Netflix believe that as well because we've got a lot of story on all these characters out there."

Can we expect to see Vikings Valhalla season four, then? Much depends on how well seasons two and three perform. Vikings Valhalla's first season racked up over 266 million hours viewed between February and April 2022, so its follow-up seasons will need to match or surpass that figure for Netflix to consider renewing it for another outing.

If Vikings Valhalla season three is the end of the line for the historical drama series, how does its second season lead into events in the show's potentially final outing? Stuart wouldn't give too much away, but did excitingly hint at how season two will set up its successor.

"Season two plays into season three in a very big way," he teased. "At the end of this season, I think there's some wonderful closure. At the same time, a big door opens up that leads us into season three, which I'm really excited about."

Thankfully, we don't have to wait to find out how Vikings Valhalla season two ends. The popular Netflix show's latest instalment is available to stream in full on Netflix right now – Valhalla season two landed on the world's best streaming service on Thursday, January 12.

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
