Vikings: Valhalla Season 4 received an unfortunate release update straight from Netflix.

Vikings: Valhalla ended its run on Netflix after three seasons. It concluded with a captivating finale that featured a satisfying ending for Lief (Sam Corlett) and his sister, Freydis (Frida Gustavsson), as they set off for a new adventure and a well-earned outcome for Harald (Leo Suter). 

Season 3 introduced new characters (like Leander Vyvey's Stigg) and storylines that could've been incorporated into a potential fourth season.

Amid the glut of corporate biopics we’ve had on our screens of late — “Air,” “BlackBerry,” “Flamin’ Hot” and so on — one for leading French champagne house Veuve Clicquot is more appealing than most. Champagne itself is sexier than a running shoe or a smartphone, for one thing, while the sinuous vineyards of 19th-century Reims are a more seductive setting for a brand-building story than a squat office block in Beaverton. “Widow Clicquot” certainly makes a virtue of its milieu and rolling landscape, richly shot throughout in dusky earth tones, and more substantively, of the rather romantic lore surrounding the widow in question.

Aged just 27 when her husband died, leaving her his ailing winery, Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin Clicquot resisted buyout offers from male competitors, instead transforming it into a thriving international champagne business — the first of its kind to be run by a woman. All that, and she allegedly invented rosé champagne,...

You left your home in search of glory, and you found it in Vikings: Valhalla Season 2.

The second chapter of the Vikings sequel series continues the epic, action-packed story of Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), Freydís Eiríksdóttir (Frida Gustavsson), and Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter) as they seek their fates in 11th-century Europe about 100 years after the events of Vikings.

Before the historical drama’s third and final season rows its way onto Netflix July 11, now’s your chance to get caught up on what happened in Vikings: Valhalla Season 2. Here’s what happened to our bearskin-clad warriors.

The action picks up shortly after Season 1 left off. Sweyn Forkbeard (Søren Pilmark) has taken Kattegat back from Olaf Haraldsson (Jóhannes Haukur Jóhannesson). He installs his teenage grandson Svein (Charlie O’Connor) as king and orders Olaf to serve as the boy’s protector.

Freydís and Harald are living blissfully alone in the countryside,...

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...

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo actor Goran Visnjic joins the stacked cast of Vikings: Valhalla's final season as an important character who has ties to Lief and Freydis.

As the conflict between the pagans and Christians looms in the background, Season 3 of the Netflix series continues to chronicle the final years of the Viking age as it mainly focuses on the lives and the destinies of Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), Freydís Eiríksdóttir (Frida Gustavsson), and Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter).

Vikings: Valhalla Season 3 premiered on Netflix on July 11.

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...

There are five main abdominal muscles in the human body. And in Vikings: Valhalla, each and every one of them is on display.

The bare-chested Nordic brawlers flaunt a veritable gallery of abs. You can witness the whole set: the external and internal obliques, the transversus abdominis and rectus abdominis, and the pyramidalis. This constellation of musculature gets so much screen time, it deserves its own end credit.

It’s a familiar scene across seasons: A tunic-less Harald (Leo Suter) arrives to a fight, showcasing a sculptural stomach in the exact formation of King’s Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls. And like those bulging bread buns, he, too, is buttered up.

“I’d got in really good shape in Season 2,” says Suter. “And then in Season 3, [the producers were] like: ‘No, we want to go superhero mode for this season.’ We filmed this two years ago, [and now] I don’t recognize the...

Before Harald Sigurdsson became king of Norway, he was a military commander who fought ruthless battles and traveled far from Scandinavia. In , the legendary warrior comes to life 100 years after the original Vikings series took place. Now in its final season, this last chapter captures the end of the Viking Age as they fight for survival, seek revenge on the English royals, and clash over their conflicting Christianity and pagan beliefs. Season 3 takes Harald to Constantinople, where he becomes a military leader and guard for the Byzantine emperor, and a rival to general George Maniakes (played by real heavyweight fighter Florian Munteanu).

For English actor Leo Suter, taking on the merciless — and bloody — role wasn’t a simple feat.

Suter is no stranger to the historical fiction genre. From Beecham House to Sanditon, he’s built a repertoire of immersing viewers in elaborate worlds of the past.

The valkyries have come forVikings: Valhalla. After three glorious seasons, the Vikings sequel series has reached its conclusion, and the sagas of Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), Freydís Eiríksdóttir (Frida Gustavsson), and Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter) will continue only in the history books. But that doesn’t mean you have to stop exploring the streaming seas.

If you’re looking for more shows like Vikings: Valhalla to watch on Netflix, here are 12 muscularsuggestions. There are historical dramas, naturally — with some combination of swords, mythology, adventure, and bearded men — but there’s more beyond that, too. Get ready to go berserk for your next favorite show.
