Netflix Set to Develop Vikings Spinoff Centered on Floki, Titled The New World

The Vikings saga isn’t over just yet. According to multiple industry insiders, Netflix is reportedly developing a brand-new spinoff series centered on fan-favorite characters Ubbe and Floki. Titled The New World, the upcoming series is expected to follow the duo as they journey deeper into North America, picking up where the original Vikings series left off.

Ubbe Ragnarsson, the son who most resembled Ragnar in spirit and leadership, ended the final season of Vikings by discovering new land and building peaceful ties with Native tribes. But the story felt far from finished. Floki, having reemerged in the final season after disappearing into Icelandic exile, joined Ubbe in the new land — setting the perfect stage for a fresh and emotionally rich adventure.

The New World is rumored to be a grounded, character-driven drama with high-stakes survival, cultural clashes, and personal redemption at its core. Floki’s spiritual crisis and visionary madness contrast with Ubbe’s steadiness and moral leadership. Together, they’re expected to explore uncharted territory — both geographically and emotionally — as they attempt to build a new Viking legacy in an unfamiliar world.

The tone is expected to be a mix of historical realism and spiritual depth. Where Vikings: Valhalla leans heavily into action and politics, The New World could explore philosophical themes, human connection, and cultural exchange. Sources close to the production say the writing team is aiming for a slower, more emotional narrative, similar to the earlier seasons of Vikings that fans fell in love with.

Jordan Patrick Smith (Ubbe) and Gustaf Skarsgård (Floki) are both reportedly in talks to reprise their roles. Their on-screen chemistry was a highlight of the later Vikings seasons, and fan demand for their return has been steady ever since the show ended. Netflix has not confirmed the casting officially, but early rumors suggest the actors are eager to return.

The series is likely to explore not just survival in the wild, but the tension between old Norse ways and the new realities of the land. Will Floki find the gods he lost faith in? Can Ubbe protect his people from internal division and outside threats? These are the questions The New World may attempt to answer.

Fans have already begun buzzing on social media. Some are calling for flashbacks featuring Ragnar, Lagertha, or even Bjorn. Others want more depth into indigenous cultures, showing how alliances and conflicts unfold in this new world. If Netflix plays this right, The New World could surpass expectations and deliver a rare mix of heart, history, and myth.

As of now, there’s no release date or trailer — but stay tuned. If the rumors are true, Netflix could be bringing us one of the most anticipated Viking stories yet. And this time, it’s not about war — it’s about legacy.
