Prime Video’s Bloodaxe is back — and this time, it’s bringing in reinforcements. Maddy Ambus, Steven Brand, and Lasse Steen have joined the cast for Season 2, according to Deadline. The trio will play recurring roles, with Steen’s character already appearing in Season 1, which drops globally on Amazon’s streaming platform this fall. No word yet on how much screen time they’ll get, but the show’s momentum suggests they’re not just cameos. The series, a historical epic drama from MGM Television, follows Erik Bloodaxe (Xavier Molyneux) and his wife Gunnhild, Mother of Kings (Jessica Madsen), as they claw their way through war-torn Norway, battling rivals, shifting alliances, and the ever-present shadow of conquest. Michael and Horatio Hirst are co-creators, showrunners, writers, and exec producers. Production is underway in Ireland. The addition of these three names, Ambus (known for The Return of Stanley Atwell, Utopia), Brand (Saw X, The Scorpion King), and Steen (The Promised Land, What Lies Between Us). Signals a deeper dive into the Norse world’s political and personal fractures. Their casting comes amid growing buzz around the series’ return. Whether this season leans more into myth or mayhem remains to be seen. But one thing’s certain: the throne isn’t safe. And neither is the timeline. Season 2 is expected to launch later this year. The question now isn’t if it’ll arrive, it’s what kind of blood it’ll spill when it does.
