Floki: The Fallen God series announced ... or not?

 

4/2026 Addended Forward: This series has not materialized, and at this point we suspect this image and its accompanying announcements were part and parcel of wishful thinking from fans on the internet whose posts gained enough search engine weight to seem a reality. Otherwise it wouldn't be out of the question to think this had gotten tossed around actual pitch discussions at Netflix, and maybe the image was part of that? Either way, our initial post's fan-theory exploring the character is an interesting one relevant to the original series, whether Floki gets his own series or not, so I've added this forward to the original entry that follows to allow for what now seems to maybe be disinformation, and not deleting it on the outside chance that it's not. Will update this forward should anything more be determined.

Netflix will launch a second Vikings spinoff into its stream on December 1st, Floki: The Fallen God.

This title alone plays with the out-there fan theory that Floki was perhaps actually an avatar of Loki, what with his advanced shipbuilding ability, unacceptable chaotic behaviour, lady charming relatively above his weight class, seeming immortality in inexplicably surviving being under a volcanic eruption, party monstering, and his role as a spiritual leader in the first series' depiction of the colonization of Iceland.

NorsePlay would rather have more than less of TV's Vikings, looks forward to see Gustaf Skarsgård masterfully reprise his breakout role, and, if they're pursuing the fan theory, hopes the writers explore what exactly divinity meant in the arch-Heathen medieval world.
