The original series ran for six seasons, and it is likely Netflix is hoping for a similar longevity for the spin-off, capitalising on the existing fanbase.
The show is set at a time when the Vikings have taken over most of England and are making their way into Normandy, and introduces Leif Eriksson, who some historians believe was the first European to set foot on North America.
