Vinland Saga Season 2 Announced For January 9 Premiere
The violent medieval Norseland anime Vinland Saga is coming back for more tales filled with revenge and flying viscera. Crunchyroll confirmed as much when they released the new trailer and announced a release date for the first episode, simulcast from Japan on January 9, 2023.
The first season of Vinland Saga introduced viewers to Torfinn. Throughout the season, Torfinn’s only goal was to kill his archenemy Askeladd, the man who murdered his father. As Season 2 opens (spoilers for Season 1), Askeladd is finally dead — but Torfinn didn’t do the deed. Denied his revenge, the man now wonders what his purpose is.
Someone else thought “your purpose is to be my slave, since slavery is alive and well in Denmark during this era.” He’s captured by landowner Ketil and forced to toil on his farmland. But there, Torfinn meets Einar, a fellow slave who convinces him to find new meaning. While that’s going on, Canute has been crowned King of England and is setting his sights on Demnark as part of his empire. Torfinn won’t find peace for long.
Vinland Saga Season 2 will be made mostly by the same people, with the exception of Studio MAPPA handling the animation (it was Wit Studio in Season 1). The Japanese cast includes Yuto Uemura as Thorfinn, Shunsuke Takeuchi as Einar and Kensho Ono as Canute, along with Mayumi Sako as Arnheid, Yu Hayashi as Olmar, Hideaki Tezuka as Ketil, Taiten Kusunoki as Thorgil, Fuminori Komatsu as Snake, Mugihito as Sverkel, Yoji Ueda as Leif and Akio Otsuka as Thorkel.
The good news about the second season of Vinland Saga is that you’ll be able to watch it on Netflix as well — new episodes will premiere on both Netflix and Crunchyroll the same day. The war continues January 9.
