SECOND SEASON OF U.S. CABLE SERIES TO AIR EXCLUSIVELY ON LOVEFiLM - NEW EPISODES AVAILABLE DAY AFTER U.S. BROADCAST
January 6, 2014 - Amazon's LOVEFiLM and MGM Television (MGM) has today announced that the highly anticipated second season of last year's critically-acclaimed Norse epic VIKINGS will air exclusively on LOVEFiLM in the UK.
Premiering on 28th February 2014, each new weekly installment in the 10 episode series will be available to stream the day after it broadcasts in the U.S. in full high definition, allowing LOVEFiLM members to keep up with the Viking horde as the season progresses.
Starring Travis Fimmel (star of the upcoming film Warcraft ), Katheryn Winnick ( Love and Other Drugs , Bones ) and Clive Standen ( Hammer of the Gods , Camelot ), VIKINGS season two sees the notorious Norse warrior Ragnar Lothbrok (Fimmel) use his new position as Earl to continue to plunder, pillage and explore new kingdoms with his band of fearless warriors.
Now allied with Donal Logue's ( Sons of Anarchy , Grounded for Life ) King Horrik, Ragnar is more powerful than ever. However, this newfound power comes at great cost - the betrayal of his vicious brother Rollo (Standen), the deterioration of his marriage to the fearless shield-maiden Lagertha (Winnick), and the scorn of his bold warrior son, Bjorn, played by newcomer Alexander Ludwig ( The Hunger Games ).
Created and written once again by Michael Hirst - one of the premier historical story-tellers in the industry (Academy-Award winning film Elizabeth and the Emmy and Golden Globe nominated series The Tudors ) - VIKINGS season two is a tale of faith, power and relationships in which plots are hatched, scores are settled and blood is spilled.
Hirst serves as Executive Producer along with Morgan O'Sullivan of World 2000 ( The Count of Monte Cristo , The Tudors ), John Weber of Take 5 Productions ( The Tudors , The Borgias ), Sherry Marsh, Alan Gasmer, James Flynn ( The Tudors , The Borgias ) and Sheila Hockin ( The Tudors , The Borgias ). MGM Television serves as the international distributor in all markets outside of the U.S., Ireland and Canada. HISTORY broadcasts VIKINGS' in the U.S. Dirk Hoogstra and Julian P. Hobbs are the Executives in Charge of Production for HISTORY.
Chris Bird, Director, Film Strategy at LOVEFiLM, said: 'VIKINGS' has been a huge hit with our members and received incredible feedback, so we're thrilled to start 2014 with a bang by bringing the horde back to British screens in the eagerly anticipated second season. With Michael Hirst at the helm the VIKINGS' storyline contains something for everyone - love, conflict, revenge, adventure and of course epic battle scenes worthy of Viking folklore.
Chris Ottinger, President International Television Distribution & Acquisitions, MGM adds: MGM is thrilled about VIKINGS' global success, with the series viewed in almost every market in the world. It is truly gratifying that audiences around the globe connected deeply with the incredible performances and storytelling from this stellar cast of talented artists. We are excited to further our relationship with LOVEFiLM to bring the highly-anticipated second season of VIKINGS' to their subscribers in 2014, and offering the opportunity to stream the latest episodes within 24 hours of the U.S. airdate, watching every epic battle in high-definition.
VIKINGS season two will premiere exclusively on LOVEFiLM in the UK on 28th February 2014. All nine episodes from season one are available to stream today exclusively on LOVEFiLM for as little as £5.99 a month.
