California [US], October 6 (ANI): Prime Video has finally revealed the first look images of the highly anticipated new series, ‘Bloodaxe’, from the creators of ‘Vikings’. The production of Season two has already started ahead of the premiere of its first season. 
The series comes from showrunners Michael Hirst (creator of Vikings) and Horatio Hirst. All eight episodes of Season One will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide, and as previously announced, Bloodaxe has been picked up for a second season, which is currently in production in Ireland, as per the press note by Amazon Prime Video. 
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, the land is torn apart by fierce rivals, shifting loyalties, and bloody betrayals.

With war looming and chaos consuming the kingdom, drawing in the ruthless Kings of other Scandinavian countries, and even a powerful English ruler, the stage is set for a thundering, cataclysmic, compelling and utterly magical new Norse Saga.
The first look introduces several key characters from the series, offering a glimpse into a period drama with sharp focus on authentic sets and production. 
The first season stars Xavier Molyneux, Jessica Madsen, Karlis Arnolds Avots, Levi Miller, Rod Hallett, Alina Tomnikov, Sisse Marie, Rune Temte, and Jesper Christensen.
Bloodaxe is executive produced by Michael and Horatio Hirst, who also showrun and write. Additional executive producers include Morgan O’Sullivan under his O’Sullivan Productions label, Steve Stark under his Toluca Pictures label, Arturo Interian, John Weber, and Sheila Hockin. (ANI)
