Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
Michael Hirst, creator of 'Vikings' and 'The Tudors,' discusses his upcoming historical drama 'Bloodaxe' at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival. Set in the 10th century, the first season has already been shot and is described as "spectacular," with a second season already in development. Hirst emphasizes that 'Bloodaxe' is a completely new story set 100 years after 'Vikings,' with a new cast, and is distinct from 'Vikings: Valhalla,' which he was not involved in. He also discusses a dream project about medieval heretics.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledWe shot the first season last year and it's spectacular.
It's a new world.
There has already been a follow-up to 'Vikings,' 'Vikings: Valhalla,' which I had nothing to do with. This is a new story, set 100 years later, with a completely new cast.
