Vikings: Valhalla spoilers follow.
Since premiering on Netflix, Vikings: Valhalla has gathered as much praise and attention as its original series for its compelling storytelling, vehement characters and the bloody, nail-biting adventure it offers.
The Vikings spin-off is loosely based on history and takes place 100 years after the events of its predecessor. It tells the story of famous historical figures like Erik the Red Leif Erikson, Freydís Eiríksdóttir and William the Conqueror, and continues the violent story of Vikings and England's royals.
What to Read Next
In true Vikings fashion, it is also not without its bloody, shocking twists – one of them being Jarl Haakon's death in the show's first series.
In the show, Jarl, who is a real historical figure, rules over the lands of Kattegat and seemingly yields the power of precognition.

Throughout the series, she becomes a supporter and mentor to pagan warrior Freydís (Frida Gustavsson), training her as a shieldmaiden. But her time on the show was cut short after she was killed during the Kattegat's war with Jarl Kåre (Asbjørn Krogh Nissen).
However, Caroline Henderson, who portrays Jarl, has insisted that we might be seeing more of the powerful character – despite her untimely death.
Speaking to Metro, Henderson said: "We don't really know that [she won't be back].
"She might turn up as a ghost or something."
The actress added that, even if her character's return was not a viable possibility, she would not mind, insisting it was nonetheless "an amazing part to play".

She complimented the show's writing, saying Jarl was "so well written because she goes into this knowing some stuff that she doesn't reveal".
"She's a pagan and she's very strong in her belief. I think portraying that and being part of that journey was amazing because she knows what's going to happen," she added.
Caroline went on to comment on audiences' remarks on Jarl Haakon being a male figure in history – which had caused some previous complaints over the choice of casting.
"I want to clarify that because I heard people do believe it's a male character but it's not!" she said.
"It's not a male character at all, she's purely fictional. That being said, of course she's inspired by big warriors, big rulers – both female and male – from history."
Vikings: Valhalla season one is available now on Netflix. Vikings seasons 1-6 are streaming via Amazon Prime Video.
