The story revolves around the main character Thorfinn who pursues a journey; not just any regular journey, but one with his father’s killer. His main intent? To take his life in an honorable duel and avenge his father, putting a rest to the fire that rages inside his heart, and paying a much overdue homage to his dead father.
The IMDb synopsis for the show reads:

According to our speculations, season 2 of Vinland Saga should dropright around the end of 2021 or early 2022. Still, some have speculated that the season might land in 2021 December but we would take that with a grain of salt.
