Bloodaxe: The Next Great Viking Saga from the Creator of Vikings

Michael Hirst, the acclaimed creator of the popular historical series 'Vikings,' is bringing audiences back to the realm of Norse sagas with his upcoming Amazon Prime series, 'Bloodaxe.' This series will center around the legendary Viking ruler Eric Bloodaxe and the historical events surrounding his rise and rule.

Hirst, who gained widespread acclaim for his previous work on 'Vikings' and the Netflix sequel series 'Vikings: Valhalla,' will be joined by his son, Horatio Hirst, to co-write and executive produce this new saga. The father-son team aims to provide a fresh narrative distinct from Hirst's previous Viking-themed productions.

“I feel blessed and deeply excited that Amazon has given me the opportunity to return to the fantastic world of the Norse Sagas,” Michael Hirst said in a statement. “The men, women, and gods of the Viking world have come to mean so much to me.”

'Bloodaxe' will chronicle the life of the legendary Viking Erik Bloodaxe, along with his wife Gunnhild, as they navigate political intrigue and warfare in their quest for power. Known historically for his ruthless methods and fierce determination, Erik’s dramatic story is expected to resonate strongly with viewers.

Vernon Sanders, head of global television for Amazon Studios, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, emphasizing the Hirsts’ notable success in historical dramas. The production will involve Toluca Pictures alongside Michael and Horatio Hirst, with additional executive producers including Steve Stark, Arturo Interian, Morgan O’Sullivan, John Weber, and Sheila Hockin.

The series, titled 'Bloodaxe,' is still in pre-production, with casting details and release dates forthcoming.
