VIKINGS Creator Michael Hirst Developing Historical Drama BLOODAXE For Amazon
Vikings creator Michael Hirst is teaming up with Horatio Hirst to develop an epic historical drama titled Bloodaxe for Amazon Prime Video. Yes, this is another project set in the world of Vikings! The series will tell the true story of famous Viking warrior Erik Bloodaxe and his wife, Gunnhild, Mother of Kings. Bloodaxe follows Bloodaxe and Gunnhild “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 Viking Saga.”Well, that sounds awesome! Michael Hirst said in a statement: “I feel blessed and deeply excited that Amazon has given me the opportunity to return to the fantastic world of the Norse Sagas and the men, women and gods of the Viking world who have come to mean so much to me.“Horatio and I intend to open your eyes to incredible new characters and unbelievable stories, all of which happen to be true and many of which changed the course of history.”Vernon Sanders, head of television for Amazon MGM Studios added: “We are thrilled to partner with Michael and Horatio Hirst, who have an impressive track record bringing historical dramas to life with stunning authenticity and gripping storytelling. “This story is a fascinating tale of Erik Bloodaxe and we can’t wait to unveil this new chapter to transport our global customers back to a fascinating era of history.”The Hirsts serve as creators, writers, and executive producers on the series. I’ll be looking forward to watching this!
