　　Leading the way on Valhalla is Sam Corlett as Leif Eriksson. Corlett is primarily known for his work on another Netflix original series, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which recently wrapped up with Season 4. Frida Gustavsson will be taking on the role of Freydis Eriksdotter, brother to Leif. The two are the children of Erik the Red. Gustavsson appeared on an episode of The Witcher during the first season.
