The "Vikings" around Ragnar Lothbrok
and his sons sailed across our screens for
six seasons .
The successful Viking series was produced by the History Channel in the USA.
But after 89 episodes it was over, the story of the brutal Northmen seemed to be over.
The crème de la crème:
206 TV experts choose the best series of the 21st century: Breaking Bad made it to third place.
At least that's what people thought until Netflix* came around the corner and secured the rights for a spin-off.
It takes place about 100 years after the events of the original and focuses, among other things, on the
famous Viking seafarer Leif Eriksson
, who crossed the Atlantic and set foot on North American soil.
The series was named Vikings: Valhalla and launched on February 25 on Netflix.
And so much can already be revealed:
there will definitely be a second season
