Prime Video has renewed Michael Hirst's new Viking series 'Bloodaxe' for a second season, even before its premiere.

At the Monte-Carlo Television Festival, executive producers, including 'Vikings' creator Michael Hirst, argued that long-running series require 'meat on the bone' and a rich world to satisfy imagination.

Michael Hirst, creator of 'Vikings', revealed details about his new historical drama 'Bloodaxe', which has already filmed its first season, and spoke about a dream project concerning medieval heretics.
