Prime Video announced today its order of Bloodaxe, a new historical Viking warrior drama series from Michael and Horatio Hirst.
For folks who’ve been jonesin’ for a new show about Vikings, there is one on the horizon: Bloodaxe.
Bloodaxe is an epic historical drama that chronicles the rise of one of history’s most famous Viking warriors, Erik Bloodaxe, and his formidable wife, Gunnhild, Mother of Kings. As they fight for the throne of Norway, the land is torn apart by fierce rivals, shifting loyalties, and bloody betrayals. With war looming and chaos consuming the kingdom, drawing in the ruthless kings of other Scandinavian countries, and even a powerful English ruler, the stage is set for a thundering, cataclysmic, compelling and utterly magical new Viking saga.
Sounds exciting, yes? (And likely violent and bloody, but also gripping and binge-worthy.)
A production of MGM Television, a division of Amazon MGM Studios, the series is created, written, and executive produced by Michael Hirst (Vikings, Vikings: Valhalla) and Horatio Hirst (Vikings: Valhalla). Additional executive producers include Steve Stark under his Toluca Pictures label, Arturo Interian, Morgan O’Sullivan, John Weber, and Sheila Hockin.
Bloodaxe will premiere globally exclusively on Prime Video (date tba). Stay tuned for updates.
