He added of their plans: "We've got several great characters and we've got stories in different countries and things like that. I think that you almost need to be able look over the horizon.

"When I was out pitching it, I was trying to pitch it as a multi-season thing, because that way I can develop those characters in the storylines over a longer, longer throw. It wasn't like, 'What can we do with the Vikings this year?'

"Because those characters really do have not just emotional arcs, they have literally historical arcs. You can't just get to theme tomorrow or next year."

Vikings: Valhalla will premiere on February 25, 2022 on Netflix. Vikings seasons 1-6 are streaming via Amazon Prime Video.
