- I figured it wouldn’t make sense to just go to the end of season one and omit the bits where Thorfinn returns to Iceland and is reunited with his family.

With that in mind I felt like I was working on all 48 episodes of Vinland Saga, I hope everyone is looking forward to it.

Summary of the Vinland saga
Thorfinn, son of one of the Vikings’ greatest warriors, is one of the finest fighters in the merry band of mercenaries led by the wily Askeladd.
