After a lengthy layover, season 2 has finally landed on our shores, presenting the downtrodden Thorfinn in an all new light. Episode 1 debuted today across various platforms including Crunchyroll, Netflix and Prime Video (subject to local availability).
While the first season was helmed by Wit Studio — whose recent efforts have included Spy x Family and Ranking of Kings — MAPPA has been handed the keys to the Vinland kingdom for season 2. Typified as one of the heavy hitters in anime, MAPPA’s portfolio features a range of shonen hits such as Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen.
Slated for a 24 episode schedule, Vinland Saga season 2 is already off to a hot start, worthy of the cherished legacy set by its predecessor. On the aggregate website MyAnimeList, season 1 currently boasts an 8.73 score, as voted by almost 690,000 users. This is good enough to put it at #45 all-time, rubbing elbows with all-time legends like Cowboy Bebop and Ashita no Joe.
