Vinland Saga takes some historically accurate events and turns them on their ear, as the Viking anime sees a young man named Thorfinn being taken from his loving home and forced to travel alongside those responsible for the death of his father. With the second season arriving early next year, the brutal franchise is hinting that new updates are right around the corner, with the anime series taking the leap from Wit Studio to MAPPA for its upcoming new installments.

Vinland Saga’s manga, created by mangaka Makoto Yukimura, has continued releasing new manga chapters despite the anime taking a few years off following the end of its first season. While we’re most likely still too far out to learn whether a season three will be put into development, there is plenty of story left when it comes to Thorfinn and his tale of revenge that took a radical turn following the first season’s finale. As has been revealed through trailers and marketing materials, the death of Askaladd will send Thorfinn on a radically different path and will bring plenty of new warriors into his world as he tries to figure out what to do now that his revenge has been taken from him.
The Vikings Are Coming
Twitter Outlet Anime TV Japan shared the news that new information focused on Vinland Saga’s second season will be arriving on October 24th, meaning that Viking fans will only have to wait for a few more days to get updates on Thorfinn and his new life in the anime adaptation:
The director of Vinland Saga, Shuhei Yabuta, addressed the swap from Wit to MAPPA, detailing via their Official Twitter Account why the decision was ultimately made for season two:
“It was my personal matter that I transferred to MAPPA, and our team had to leave the previous studio regardless of my transfer. The release of our team wasn’t planned in advance and at that point, we had already started production for season2 while keeping almost the same team.”
What do you hope to see in the Viking epic when Vinland Saga returns next year? How do you think Thorfinn can go on now that his revenge has been taken from him?
