Netflix revealed its long list of “genre” content coming to the streamer in 2022 today, and it’s a wealth of nerdy goodness. There’s a bunch of new exciting shows on the list including The Witcher: Blood Origins,Ā Resident Evil, The Sandman, and animated series Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas, but the biggest news is a release date and new images for the hotly anticipated Vikings: Valhalla. Netflix revealed Vikings: Valhalla, a sequel to Vikings, will land with a February 25, 2022 release date and dropped the below slew of what it calls “first look” images, even though we’ve already kind of had a first look.
Vikings: Valhalla is set 100 years after the first series, which gained quite a following when it came to streaming. The show follows a bit more famous set of Vikings this time around as it focuses on Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), his fiery and headstrong sister Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson), and the ambitious Nordic prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter). The series will tell the story of a time when Vikings and the English are battling regularly, and our three heroes set out on an adventure that will take them far and wide.

The supernatural horror series Archive 81 will land on January 14, the spy-actionerĀ In From the Cold will land on January 28, and the second season of Raising Dion will land on February 1.
