What to expect from Vinland Saga Season 2 Episode 1?
The first season of Vinland Saga followed Thorfinn as he moved with his goal to kill Askeladd, the man who murdered his father. Thorfinn was about five years old when he witnessed his father’s death at the hands of Askeladd and his men and has since followed them. However, Thorfinn does not get to avenge his father, as Askeladd gets killed at the hands of Canute. With his objective lost, he attacked Canute as a punishment for which he was enslaved.
The official synopsis of the second season reads:
“A new millennium begins in the southern part of the Jutland peninsula in Denmark. After the death of his longtime enemy, Askeladd, Thorfinn lost his purpose in life. He was bought by the landowner Ketil as a “slave” and engaged in land reclamation work on his farm. Thorfinn meets a young man there, Einar, who was also a slave like him. The encounter of Einar led Thorfinn to face the sins he had committed and began to find meaning in life.”
“On the other hand, Canute, who became the King of England, attempted to extend his territory for the establishment of “the promised land”. This is “The Story of a True Warrior (Saga)”. “The story of Atonement and Salvation (Saga)” that lies beyond the prologue.”
Vinland Saga Season 2 Episode 1 is titled Slave. It is directed by Nobuyoshi Arai, and Yōsuke Yamamoto and written by Hiroshi Seko.
While the first season was produced by Wit Studio, MAPPA will be handling the production of the second season.
