“I am so grateful to have had three seasons to tell the stories of Leif, Harald and Freydis,” creator Jeb Stuart said in a statement to IGN. “I knew from the beginning that I wanted to show the evolution of how three of the most famous Vikings became the icons we know today and we have done just that.”

“I hope when the audience gets to see the new season, they’ll be excited by all the new heights that we’ve taken these heroes,” Stuart continued. “When we started this project five years ago, I worked hard with this incredible cast and crew to craft a journey that we all hoped would be satisfying.”

“Of course with real historical figures, there are always more aspects of their lives that could be explored, but it made sense story-wise for our Leif, Freydis and Harald’s voyages to end with our third season,” Stuart explained, adding, “And we really cannot wait for the fans to see the conclusion of this chapter of history.”

Set in the early 11th century, the spinoff chronicles “the heroic adventures of some of the most famous Vikings who ever lived, Leif Eriksson, his sister, Freydis and the Norwegian prince Harald Sigurdsson,” per the official synopsis. The forthcoming episodes pick up seven years after the conclusion of Season 2, with Freydis “now the undisputed leader of pagan Jomsborg,” while “Leif and Harald have achieved glory in Constantinople. But greater challenges lie ahead in order for each to reach their ultimate destiny.”

Joining the cast for Season 3 is Goran Visnjic (ER, Timeless) as Erik the Red, the legendary Viking father of Leif Eriksson and Freydis, who is living in exile in Greenland for crimes he committed in Iceland and Norway. Get a first look at his character below.
