MUMBAI, India – October 10, 2026 – Today, at New York Comic Con, Prime Video immersed fans in the world of 10th century Norway during a panel for the highly anticipated new series, Bloodaxe. Showrunners Michael Hirst (creator of Vikings) and Horatio Hirst, and cast members Xavier Molyneux, Jessica Madsen and Levi Miller, participated in a panel discussion moderated by Nerdist’s Editor-in-Chief Rotem Rusak, where they discussed the series for the first time and revealed the show’s January 20, 2027 premiere date. The panel also debuted a first look at a thrilling teaser trailer and teaser key art for the action-packed series.
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.
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 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.
