"Vikings: Valhalla" is not a movie but a television series. It is a sequel to the popular series "Vikings" and premiered on Netflix on February 25, 2022. The show is set in the early 11th century and follows legendary Norse heroes like Leif Erikson, Freydis Eiríksdóttir, and Harald Sigurdsson as they explore and raid new territories. The series continues the themes of adventure and exploration established in its predecessor, showcasing the Viking Age's complexities and conflicts.

As of October 2023, "Vikings: Valhalla" has not been officially canceled. The series, a sequel to the original "Vikings," premiered its first season on Netflix in February 2022, followed by a second season announced for 2023. Any rumors about cancellation may stem from uncertainty about future seasons, but there has been no official confirmation of its end. Fans should stay tuned for updates from Netflix regarding the show’s future beyond the upcoming seasons.

You can start with "Vikings" or "Vikings: Valhalla" depending on your preference. "Vikings" is the original series that aired from 2013 to 2020 and follows the legendary Norse hero Ragnar Lothbrok and his descendants. It provides a rich backstory and character development. "Vikings: Valhalla," set around a hundred years later, serves as a sequel and introduces new characters and events. Watching "Vikings" first gives you a deeper understanding of the lore and context, but "Valhalla" can be enjoyed on its own as well.

In "Vikings: Valhalla," which is set a century after the original "Vikings" series, Ragnar Lothbrok's direct family does not appear, as they lived in the 9th century. However, the series features the legacy of Viking culture and the impact of Ragnar's exploits on future generations. Characters like Leif Erikson and Freydis Eriksdotter are prominent, but they are not directly related to Ragnar's lineage. The show explores the Viking Age's evolution and its historical context in the 11th century.
