Future new anime seasons will be about redemption
During his travels, Thorfinn meets Hild, a huntress whose father was murdered by him. Tensions reach a boiling point when Hild poisons everyone and then confronts Thorfinn.

In future seasons, the series also promises to explore themes of gender through Cordelia. The story of Cordelia, who travels with Thorfinn to Vinland and takes on her true identity, will add depth to the story, showing the importance of acceptance and understanding.
