Vikings: Valhalla Season 3 Release Date
The premiere date of Season 3 of Vikings: Valhalla is uncertain; however, it might be somewhere in 2024, between January 1 and March 31.

Season 1 premiered on February 25, 2022; thus, if previous releases are any indication, Season 3 might arrive in the first quarter of 2024.

Vikings: Valhalla Season 3 Plotline
The third season of Vikings: Valhalla will continue the storyline that started in the second. Freydis, Leif, and Harald parted ways once again at the close of Vikings: Valhalla’s previous season—and this time, they may not be getting back together anytime soon.
Freydis took over as leader of Jomsborg after the deaths of Olaf and Harekr; he granted access to the temple to the citizens of Jomsborg and ended their enslavement. Jomsborg may now be transformed into a sanctuary for pagans who were displaced and without a temple, thanks to her peace deal with Queen Aelfgifu (Pollyanna McIntosh), the new ruler of Kattegat.
As for Harald and Leif, they have arrived at Constantinople, where the Emperor is willing to give them any wish they may have—they only need to determine what it is.
In season 3 of Vikings: Valhalla, Harald will likely remain in Constantinople to be near Elena, who is now the Empress of Constantinople, and he may even take a job working for the Emperor. After what Mariam told Leif, he will most certainly remain with Harald and may perhaps pursue more scientific education.
Now that Godwin has married Gytha, the niece of King Canute, Queen Emma will keep a careful watch on him since she understands his intentions and his willingness to go to great lengths.
