It has been reported by Digital Spy that Netflix recently announced that TWD alum Pollyanna McIntosh, who played Jadis/Anne, has been cast in Vikings: Valhalla. She will play Queen Ælfgifu, who is described as the Queen of Denmark who is calculating and ambitious. This sounds like a fun role for her to take on.

The Walking Dead cast members who have left or been killed off the show are always part of TWD Family. Celebrating their achievements beyond this series is one reason TWD is a great fandom to belong to.

This series is a spinoff to the History Channels Vikings series, which ran for six seasons. The original series is available to stream on Amazon Prime.

Vikings: Valhalla will be a Netflix historical drama original series created by Michael Hirst, who created the original series. Hirst will be joined by Jeb Stuart, the co-creator, writer and executive producer for the series and best known for his work on Die Hard.
