Vikings: Valhalla Creator Jeb Stuart Reveals How Netflix Show Differs From Vikings and Season 2
Jan 17 2022
Shortly after watching the first five episodes (which are fast moving and loaded with action), I got to speak with Jeb Stuart about making the series. During the interview he talked about how the series happened, studying history to find the things he wanted to bring into the show, why he started the series with the St. Brice's Day Massacre, the way the pacing on Valhalla is different from Vikings, how he made huge scale action on a TV budget, his plans for future seasons, why each season is eight episodes, how Season 2 is different from Season 1, and more. In addition, he talked about when he realized Die Hard (which he wrote) was going to be such a special movie and avoided talking about writing the Netflix Assassin's Creed series except to say he agreed with my opinion that it will work better on the small screen where you can spend more time diving into the mythology and explore the world.
