Netflix enthusiasts express their immense relief as their beloved historical drama finally arrives in the UK.

Subscribers of Netflix UK are thrilled as the highly praised historical series Vikings has officially arrived on the streaming service.

The series, developed and penned by Michael Hirst, originally premiered for six seasons from 2013 to 2020, starting on the History Channel before moving to Amazon Prime Video.

A spin-off series, Vikings: Valhalla, premiered on Netflix in 2022 and ran for three seasons until its conclusion in July 2024.

Now, Netflix has acquired all six seasons of the original Vikings series, much to the delight of fans, who are celebrating on Reddit, reports Surrey Live.

An excited fan, @Brave_Score4593, shared with a beaming emoji: "Vikings is now officially available on Netflix UK!"

In the comment section, another fan quipped: "I’m so excited to binge-watch seasons 1-4 for the hundredth time!"

Many others shared their enthusiasm, with one person exclaiming, "Amazing!" Another commented, "I was concerned it might disappear from [Amazon Prime], but when I found it on Netflix, I felt such a wave of relief."

An observant fan has pointed out that Netflix has released an alternate version of the show, which is said to be more graphic than the version available on Amazon Prime, featuring increased levels of violence and nudity.

They expressed their excitement, saying: "It's wonderful to see that Netflix offers the complete uncensored version of the series, allowing viewers to truly experience Vikings as it was meant to be."

Another commenter shared their thoughts: "I often find it frustrating to come across posts from other show subreddits announcing things like 'Stargate is now available on Netflix!' since it's almost always about the American Netflix. So, seeing a post that's actually relevant for UK Netflix is a delightful surprise."

Vikings, drawing inspiration from the legendary Scandinavian figure Ragnar Lodbrok, explores the journey of a Norse warrior who transforms into an intrepid explorer.

According to IMDb, "Vikings transports us to the brutal and mysterious world of Ragnar Lothbrok, a Viking warrior and farmer who yearns to explore-and raid-the distant shores across the ocean."

Travis Fimmel stars as Lothbrok, alongside a talented ensemble that includes well-known actors like Katheryn Winnick, Clive Standen, Jessalyn Gilsig, Gustaf Skarsgard, Gabriel Byrne, George Blagden, Donal Logue, Alyssa Sutherland, Linus Roache, and Alexander Ludwig.

You can now stream all six seasons of Vikings on Netflix.
