Vikings: Valhalla Showrunner Jeb Stuart Discusses The Nuances Of Season 2 – Exclusive Interview
Congratulations on the 2nd season of “Vikings: Valhalla.” The 1st season established everything, and we got to know the characters. Now that you’ve done that, did you have a particular goal for Season 2?
I wanted to test them in the big world outside of Kattegat. Historically, we know that Harald took this journey, so it wasn’t like I was breaking with history, but we don’t know a whole lot about that journey because he took his poets and his scholars with him, and they told a great [story about it]. It’s like taking your PR team with you. “Everything Jeb does is great. It’s really terrific. He was super. There were no downsides.” We know that didn’t happen.
What is really fun for me is taking all of them and having to rebuild their legacies. How did this happen? If I kept them in the mothership, it would’ve just been another season in Kattegat, in England, and things like that. I’m excited about this because it starts to broaden and tell a more lifelong story of all these very important Vikings.
The breadth of the season is incredible, but it also puts these characters on separate paths. How did you find a throughline for the season when the main characters are all off on their own journeys?
There’s always this moment of discomfort [whenever] there’s going to be separation because there’s security in, “Let’s keep the band together.” I don’t want George and Paul to go off and do different albums. At the same time, it’s great because there’s nothing keeping our group from coming back together. And when they come back together, they have different growths, they have different thoughts, [and] different experiences have impacted them.
That was one of the things that was always appealing to me coming into this show, and I knew we were going to do this in Season 2, even when we were working on Season 1. Because I knew it, I could share it with the actors. We could talk about how it would work. And going into Season 3 is a continuation of that growth.
