Prime Video's Viking Drama Bloodaxe Is Set for January 2027
Prime Video plans to release Bloodaxe in January 2027, making the Viking drama one of its upcoming major series.
Set in the 900s, it follows real-life warrior and political figure Eric Bloodaxe, played by Xavier Molyneux.
Eric and his wife, Gunnhild, played by Jessica Madsen, fight rival kings and tribes for control of Norway.
The series follows Prime Video's efforts to match the impact of HBO's Game of Thrones, which helped drive other channels and streaming services to pursue ambitious dramas.
Unlike Game of Thrones, Bloodaxe is a grounded historical drama without high fantasy elements.
Its focus on history rather than extensive fantasy effects may mean lower production costs, though the sources do not give a budget.
Prime Video has already renewed Bloodaxe for a second season, but no further release details are provided.
