Only one warrior could emerge victorious on Vikings: Valhalla.
And that's exactly what happened in the season two finale of the Netflix drama, which saw an epic faceoff between Freydis (Frida Gustavsson), a shield-maiden dedicated to protecting the Pagan faith, and Olaf (Johannes Haukur Johannesson), a devout Christian determined to whip out the old ways.
While some viewers may've assumed that the brutish Olaf would ultimately be victorious, Freydis proved that she was as fierce as she was smart, eliminating both Olaf's army by fire and demolishing him in one-on-one combat.
The final battle was epic and bloody and, according to Gustavsson, took quite a bit of practice to pull off. "We wanted to make it the biggest thing we possibly could," she exclusively told E! News. "We spent months working on that fight."
Gustavsson credits "genius" creator Jeb Stuart for creating an ending that topped season one's fierce battle. "The ending of season one, I thought it was just so big. So action-packed," she said. "And [Stuart] did it again. Better. Bigger. And I think the ultimate showdown of Freydis and Olaf is just so fantastic."
As for when viewers can expect more of Vikings: Valhalla? Gustavsson confirmed that production for season three has already wrapped.
"We've already shot it, and it's incredible," she shared. "It's so good. And I just can't wait for the world to see it. But you're gonna have to wait a little bit longer."
For now, all of season two of Vikings: Valhalla--which also stars Sam Corlett and Leo Suter--is available to stream on Netflix.
