Overview
- Prime Video officially commissioned a second season of Bloodaxe, with the announcement made Tuesday and confirmed by creators Michael and Horatio Hirst.
- Season 2 is scheduled to begin production in Ireland imminently, with reports saying cameras will roll within weeks and some outlets specifying an August start.
- Season 1 remains slated to premiere on Prime Video in early 2027, and no exact debut date, trailer, or first‑look images have been released yet.
- The series is created and showrun by Michael and Horatio Hirst and stars Xavier Molyneux as Erik Bloodaxe and Jessica Madsen as Gunnhild, backed by a supporting cast that includes Levi Miller and Jesper Christensen.
- The early renewal reflects Amazon MGM Studios’ production strategy to lock talent and shooting windows, uses Ireland’s production infrastructure and incentives, and raises expectations that Prime Video is betting on Bloodaxe as a multi‑season prestige project.
