One of the most frustrating things about covering Netflix is the number of projects announced only to die quietly behind the scenes. We’ve seen this happen repeatedly over the years, and one of the most disappointing examples is the Assassin’s Creed live-action series. Now that it’s been five years since the project was announced let’s recap the development timeline and where things stand in 2025.
It’s been nearly three years since our last update to our “everything we know” article about Netflix’s live-action Assassin’s Creed series, so if you want an expanded timeline up until that point, head there, as we’ll be abbreviating things in this article. In October 2020, Netflix and Ubisoft announced via social media and its About Netflix blog that it partnered with Ubisoft to develop at least two Assassin’s Creed projects.

It's the holiday season, and with it comes all of its attendant traditions. Keeping tradition is a useful and important part of life, as it reminds all of us who we are and how far we've come while reorienting us for the future. It allows for reflection, too, letting us re-examine and take stock of our institutions and traditions themselves, seeing how much value they retain while adjusting them if necessary. For many, 1988's "Die Hard" has become a staple holiday season viewing. Yet watching the film is a tradition that has begat a new tradition of its own: debating on social media whether "Die Hard" actually is a Christmas movie or not. For those of us eager to enjoy our annual viewing of director John McTiernan's action classic unadorned, this debate is a tradition we'd rather do away with, but it's sadly one that keeps returning every year.

The limited series starring and executive produced by Florence Pugh has begun production in New Zealand. Joining the cast are Tracy Letts, Martha Plimpton, Ciaran Hinds, Joseph Zada and Joe Anders, who will appear alongside Pugh and the previously cast Christopher Abbott, Mike Faist and Hoon Lee.

Vikings: Valhalla and its parent series share filming locations in County Wicklow, Ireland, creating a seamless transition for viewers. The natural landscapes of County Wicklow provided the perfect backdrop for Vikings: Valhalla's epic battle scenes and Viking settlements. To depict locations such as Rome and Constantinople, Vikings: Valhalla expanded its filming to Dubrovnik, Croatia, adding a Mediterranean feel.
Netflixs Vikings: Valhalla shares filming locations with its parent series, History Channels Vikings; here are the filming locations explained. Valhalla was created by Jeb Stuart but included Vikings creator Michael Hirst among its executive producers, and its the direct sequel of the History Channel series, although the events narrated in Valhalla happened around a century after those depicted in Vikings season 6. Parts of Vikings: Valhalla are set in Kattegat, the same settlement as many of the events in Vikings.
Fittingly, then, Valhalla is also filmed in the same location as the 2013 History Channel series,...

In the final episode of Vikings: Valhalla, the age of seafaring and ax-waving ends in a blaze of glory.
Flames begin to erupt around Scandinavian spiritual warrior Freydís Eiríksdóttir (Frida Gustavsson) as she delivers an impassioned speech while tied to a stake. “Hear me now, rise up and protect us from this heresy. Strike down your anger and redden these walls with blood!”
The pagan leader escapes death once again with the help of her cunning brother Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), the legendary explorer whose exploits alongside Norwegian prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter) propelled the three globetrotting seasons of Vikings: Valhalla.
The main trio’s return to Kattegat, the fictional Viking village where the series began, was all part of creator Jeb Stuart’s plan. “[Leif] sets off to be an explorer when he brings his sister to Kattegat in the very opening episode,” Stuart tells Tudum. “And then he...

All epic sagas must come to an end, and Vikings: Valhalla embark on one last adventure in Season 3, which is streaming now on Netflix.
Co-creator and executive producer Jeb Stuart will bring the series to a natural creative conclusion in July, but the ship won’t be sailing off into the sunset quietly. “I am so grateful to have had three seasons to tell the stories of Leif, Harald, and Freydís. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to show the evolution of how three of the most famous Vikings became the icons we know today, and we have done just that,” Stuart said. “I hope when the audience gets to see the new season, they’ll be excited by all the new heights that we’ve taken these heroes.” Check out the axe-and-action-packed Season 3 trailer above.
When we last saw our warriors, there was more bloodshed than ever before.

The following article contains spoilers for Vikings: Valhalla season 3.
It’s the end of an era: Vikings: Valhalla has passed on to the great medieval banquet in the sky. The Netflix series, a spinoff of the popular History Channel drama Vikings, catapulted the story several hundred years into the future to follow the stories of some of the most famous figures from the Icelandic legends and sagas. Full of epic battle sequences, a sprawling cast of characters, and a focus on the increasing tension between politics and religion, the series may have some dodgy bits when it comes to historical accuracy, but it’s certainly an exciting ride.
Netflix announced that the third season of Valhalla would be the series’ last earlier this year, though it doesn’t always feel as though this run of episodes was necessarily meant to serve as the show’s conclusion. Thankfully, whether this was...

Full of epic battle sequences, a sprawling cast of characters, and a focus on the increasing tension between politics and religion, the series may have some dodgy bits when it comes to historical accuracy, but it’s certainly an exciting ride.
Netflix announced that the third season of Valhalla would be the series’ last earlier this year, though it doesn’t always feel as though this run of episodes was necessarily meant to serve as the show’s conclusion. Thankfully, whether this was...

While the Viking Age lasted only about 300 years, the legends of those world-spanning exploits live on forever.
The action-packed series Vikings: Valhalla,created by Jeb Stuart, is historical fiction, but the tales of conquest, exploration, and trade find their roots in fact. “You can’t do a show like Valhalla without incredible amounts of research,” says Stuart, “and we’re learning about the Viking world literally daily through new archaeological finds.”
Our story begins more than a thousand years ago, in the early 11th century, when bloodshed was rampant. Tension between the Vikings and the English reached a boiling point, and there was additional conflict among the Vikings over pagan and Christian ideologies. The series chronicles these warriors’ exploits on and off the battlefields from the (fictional) Norwegian settlement Kattegat to England and beyond.

When Vikings was first released in 2013, the series became a massive hit. Fans loved the gritty realism of the series, the acting, as well as the actors and their heroic characters. It was something new and refreshing, so we’re not surprised that the fans loved it. After six seasons, the series came to an end in 2020, but not long after, Netflix launched a sequel series, Vikings: Valhalla, which premiered in 2022. The series is currently preparing for its third and final season, which is set to be released on July 11, 2024, with Netflix releasing an official trailer for the upcoming season!
The series will, thus, conclude with three seasons; the first two were released on February 25, 2022, and January 12, 2023, respectively, both having eight episodes, totaling 16 episodes in two seasons.

The pitch was "Rambo in an office building." In the 1980s, the idea of a Rambo type in anything, anywhere would at least get your project shuttled down the studio production pipeline. 20th Century Fox rightly believed they had a potential winner in "Die Hard." So why was the project anathema to every A-list movie star in Hollywood?
Perhaps it was the pedigree. "Die Hard" was an adaptation of Roderick Thorp's action novel "Nothing Lasts Forever," the author's 1979 sequel to his 1966 bestseller "The Detective." That cop thriller had been turned into a 1968 star vehicle for Frank Sinatra, who was nearing the end of his 1960s big-screen comeback. It was a solid hit for 20th Century Fox, but, despite a feint toward grittiness, it was viewed as nothing more than a paycheck gig for the Chairman.

After the success of Ridley Scott’s Alien, the world saw a surge in sci-fi movies centered around blue-collar workers finding themselves up against terrifying creatures, usually in a dark, dank, remote setting. Some of these rip-offs were studio affairs, but a majority of them were made for the home video and late-night cable markets, where the cheap sets and shoddy effects weren’t such big deals. Who among us hasn’t enjoyed a low-budget monster flick that was clearly made for the price of a six-pack? 1989 brought us not one but three sci-fi movies that had at least partial inspiration from Alien and its sequel, Aliens. The latter film’s director, James Cameron, brought us his underwater epic The Abyss, which isn’t a horror film but certainly takes some cues from those earlier movies. Deepstar Six was Sean S. Cunningham’s attempt to bring the slasher movie underwater,...

Vikings: Valhalla season 2 was viewed for 205,500,000 hours, confirming its popularity. Series creator Jeb Stuart wanted to show the evolution of famous Vikings, achieving that goal in three seasons. The decision to end the series could be read as a creative decision, but future stories may still be possible.
New data reveals why Netflix went all-in on Vikings: Valhalla. Debuting in 2022, the spinoff takes place 100 years after the events of the original Vikings, as tensions between the descendants of the Vikings and native English reach a boiling point.

The Vikings journey on Netflix is coming to an end.
The third season of Vikings: Valhalla, which is set to air in 2024, will be its last.
The show, which was created by Jeb Stuart, is a sequel to the Michael Hirst-created Vikings. After its first season launched in February 2022, it was handed a two season renewal.
The drama begins in the early 11th century and chronicles the legendary adventures of some of the most famous Vikings who ever lived – Leif Eriksson, played by Sam Corlett, Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson), Harald Hardrada (Leo Suter), and the Norman King William the Conqueror. These men and women will blaze a path as they fight for survival in the ever-changing and evolving world.
The cast also includes Bradley Freegard, Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson, Goran Visnjic, Laura Berlin, David Oakes, Pollyanna McIntosh, Soren Pilmark, Bradley James, Hayat Kamille, Marcin Dorocinski and Sofya Lebedeva

The Fugitive was not the movie audiences expected when they walked into their local cinemas 30 years ago. Designed to be a splashy star vehicle for Harrison Ford that summer, the film was an action-thriller, obviously, and one that even back then was banking on name recognition and brand familiarity—in this case for a 1960s television series that aired on ABC. Still, few moviegoers or critics expected it to wind up on end of year lists, or for it to be included in conversations about the best movies of 1993. But it was, including when it was nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars (it lost out to Schindler’s List).
There’s a reason the film made such a visceral impact in its heyday, though, and why even three decades on it remains one of the finest action movies ever produced. And it may very well come down to one...

When Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert sat down at the end of 1993 to pick their 10 favorite movies of the year, they largely selected prestige, Oscar-bait films like The Piano, The Age of Innocence, The Joy Luck Club, and Schindler’s List. They skipped nearly all of the big multiplex hits of the year, including Jurassic Park, Sleepless in Seattle, and Mrs. Doubtfire, making an exception only for The Fugitive. It’s an honor they didn’t give to Die Hard in 1988, The Terminator in 1984, Aliens in 1986, or many other great action movies of the VHS era.
