Shows that feel likeVikings: Valhalla (2022–2024)

In this sequel to "Vikings," a hundred years have passed and a new generation of legendary heroes arises to forge its own destiny — and make history.

If you loved Vikings: Valhalla, the closest series we have are The Last Kingdom (2015), SEAL Team (2017) and The Last Ship (2014). All three share Vikings: Valhalla's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Shooter (2016).

Two things both keep coming back to: historical and dark

A show of heroic deeds and epic battles with a thematic depth that embraces politics, religion, warfare, courage, love, loyalty and our universal search for identity. Combining real historical figures and events with fictional characters, it is the story of how a people combined their strength under one of the most iconic kings of history in order to reclaim their land for themselves and build a place they call home.
