Bloodaxe is an epic historical drama, created, written, and executive produced by Michael Hirst, the creator of the Vikings series, and his son, Horatio Hirst. It chronicles the rise of one of history’s most famous Norse raiders, Erik Bloodaxe, and his formidable wife Gunnhild, Mother of Kings. Bloodaxe Season 1 will tell the story of their fight for the throne of Norway, as 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.
Bloodaxe is executive produced by Michael Hirst and Horatio Hirst, Steve Stark, Arturo Interian, Morgan O’Sullivan, John Weber, and Sheila Hockin for MGM Television, a division of Amazon MGM Studios.
