Get ready for “Bloodaxe.”

“We shot the first season last year and it’s spectacular,” writer and executive producer Michael Hirst, best known for “Vikings,” tells Variety at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival. The second season of the historical drama – set in the 10th century – is already in the works.

While “Vikings” fans will flock to see it, “it’s a new world,” he stresses.
