In an interview with Collider, “Vikings: Valhalla” creator Jeb Stuart spoke at length about the various challenges that come with creating each season of the historical drama. When asked if he envisioned building further into the overall story back during the development of Season 1, Stuart replied, “Without a doubt. That’s a great question. Without a doubt, Season 1 was hard for exactly the reason you said. I felt like I was out there in the wilderness saying, “We can do this. We can take down London Bridge on TV, and make it look like we just did a $40 million action set piece.”
Stuart highlighted the numerous different ways in which he told himself that the series could stand on its own. This level of hope combined with a fierce commitment to telling a grand story each season was further established with the second installment of the series. The creator said of the 2nd season, “It’s almost like doing a sequel. It’s almost like it’s got to be faithful to everything you did for Season 1, and yet it’s got to be new and fresh, and even better for Season 2.” He concluded by sharing the same sentiment for the third season.
This level of commitment and holding out hope that each new installment seems to be paying off since the program holds a 90% certified fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
