From the creator of Vikings, Prime Video reveals the explosive teaser trailer and premiere date for the new original series, Bloodaxe.
At the recent New York Comic Con, Prime Video immersed fans in the world of 10th-century Norway during a panel for the highly anticipated new series, Bloodaxe. Showrunners Michael Hirst (creator of Vikings) and Horatio Hirst, and cast members Xavier Molyneux, Jessica Madsen, and Levi Miller, participated in a panel discussion moderated by Nerdist’s Editor-in-Chief Rotem Rusak. During the discussion, they talked about the series for the first time. They also revealed the show’s 20th January 2027 premiere date. The panel debuted a first look at a thrilling teaser trailer and teaser key art for the action-packed series.
All eight episodes of Season One will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. As previously announced, Bloodaxe has been picked up for a second season. In fact, this new season is currently in production in Ireland.
THE PREMISE
In Season One, Bloodaxe chronicles the rise of one of history’s most famous Norse raiders, Erik Bloodaxe (Xavier Molyneux), and his formidable wife Gunnhild, Mother of Kings (Jessica Madsen). As they fight for the throne of Norway, fierce rivals, shifting loyalties, and bloody betrayals tear the land apart. As war looms and chaos engulfs the kingdom, the stage ignites for a thundering, cataclysmic, and utterly magical new Norse Saga. This conflict ignites fierce rivalries as ruthless Kings from other Scandinavian countries join the fray, and even a powerful English ruler steps into the turmoil.
The first season stars Xavier Molyneux, Jessica Madsen, Karlis Arnolds Avots, Levi Miller, Rod Hallett, Alina Tomnikov, Sisse Marie, Rune Temte, and Jesper Christensen.
