What is Vikings: Valhalla about?

Vikings: Valhalla, a spirited follow-up to the acclaimed series "Vikings", is a sweeping historical drama set in the early 11th century, a pivotal period marking the twilight years of the Viking Age. The series delves into the lives of illustrious Viking individuals who are etched into history and folklore, such as Leif Erikson, Freydís Eiríksdóttir, and Harald Sigurdsson. Through its intricate narrative, the show explores the escalating tensions between the Norsemen, descendants of earlier Viking generations, and the English, whose conflicts reach a climax in the St. Brice's Day massacre in 1002.
