The show combines high school drama, environmental crisis, and Norse mythology.

Ragnarok Season 3 Has Been Confirmed

Ragnarok Season 3 Release Date

: Netflix has officially greenlit the third and final season of Ragnarok, as confirmed by the first updates of season 3. In November 2021, Herman Tømmeraas, the actor portraying Fjor, shared the exciting news of Ragnarok season 3's renewal on both Twitter and Instagram. Normally, Netflix announces season renewals after a few weeks, but due to various factors including the pandemic, it's not surprising that it may have taken months for Ragnarok season 3 to receive the green light. Despite receiving less than favorable reviews from critics, the decision to renew the series likely depended on how Netflix evaluates its viewership.

The release date for season 3 of Ragnarok has been announced as August 24, 2024. Despite facing delays due to COVID-19 for season two and the WGA writer's strike, the series has overcome numerous obstacles. Fortunately, Ragnarok was filmed before the strike began, and it seems that the production and post-production of season 3 have not been affected. Although the exact number of episodes for the new season has not been revealed, the confirmed release date is great news. If it follows the same format as the previous two seasons, Ragnarok season 3 will likely consist of six episodes.

Ragnarok Season 3 Cast

Ragnarok season 3 is expected to bring back all the gods and giants introduced in the previous seasons, particularly leading up to the event the show is named after - Ragnarok. Latest updates on Ragnarok season 3 confirm the return of Magne (David Stakston) and his half-brother Laurits (Jonas Strand Gravli) for the final installment. Gods Harry (Benjamin Helstad), Iman (Danu Sunth), and Wotan (Bjørn Sundquist) are also expected to join the final battle, along with Saxa (Theresa Frostad Eggesbø), who allied with Magne in season 2.

While Vidar (Gísli Örn Garðarsson) may not be present in season 3, Ran (Synnøve Macody Lund) and Fjor (Herman Tømmeraas) are certain to return for their epic confrontation with Magne. Although there is a possibility of introducing new characters, no updates regarding this have been provided for Ragnarok season 3. With numerous unexplored aspects of Norse mythology, the show has the potential to introduce new gods and giants. However, as this is the second-to-last season, the focus of the showrunners might be more on wrapping up the narrative rather than introducing additional subplots and characters.

Ragnarok Season 3 Story

Content rewritten:

Updates on Ragnarok season 3 do not provide in-depth plot details, but certain story elements can be speculated based on the conclusion of Ragnarok season 2. Now that Laurits, also known as Loki, has embraced his unique identity as the trickster god of Norse mythology and a giant, he is expected to become a valuable ally in the battle against the giants. Additionally, Saxa has officially switched sides, and it will be intriguing to witness how her change in loyalties has impacted the Jutul family.

Magne has successfully created Mjölnir and regained his powers after willingly relinquishing them to lead a normal life. Fjor, who had previously left the Jutuls to pursue a romantic relationship with a human, has now returned in place of his father. It is highly likely that the third season will delve more into the serpent that Laurits has given birth to, which has been diagnosed as a tapeworm manifestation of Jörmungandr, the colossal serpentine foe of both Loki and Thor in Norse mythology.

While there may not be many other updates for Ragnarok season 3, a moment in season 2 hinted at a potential subplot from Norse mythology. In the season 2 finale, Magne and Saxa engage in a fight, which ultimately leads to an intimate encounter. Saxa likely represents the giant Járnsaxa, who has a relationship with Thor despite being enemies. Together, they have a child named Magni, who is known to survive Ragnarok and help his father defeat a giant. It is possible that Ragnarok season 3 could explore Saxa's pregnancy.

However, it is important to note that this is purely speculative. Current updates on Ragnarok season 3 suggest that it will be the final chapter of the series. Therefore, it is possible that this storyline was introduced but later abandoned when it was decided that the show would not continue. On the other hand, if the studios choose to incorporate this aspect of Norse mythology, the series could end with Saxa being pregnant. This would create an intriguing dynamic between Magne, Saxa, and Signy to conclude the show.

Ragnarok Season 3 Trailer

The first glimpses of Ragnarok season 3 may portray seemingly mundane scenes of characters conversing, but they hold tantalizing hints of what is to come. In one image, Fjor and Ran humbly kneel before Magne, who wields Mjölnir, suggesting intense power struggles and far-reaching repercussions. Another image showcases the imposing Giants, armed and poised for battle, while a third depicts Magne and his warriors confidently marching through the town, armed to the teeth. As the final season of Ragnarok, the showrunners surely intend to conclude the series with a resounding spectacle. Therefore, viewers can anticipate an abundance of adrenaline-fueled combat sequences throughout the chapter, justified by the image of our protagonists boldly marching forward.

Regrettably, there is no trailer available for the updates on Ragnarok season 3. Principal photography for the show concluded in August of 2022, following a production schedule that commenced in April of the same year. The official release date for Ragnarok season 3 has now been confirmed as August 24, 2024, just two months away. Consequently, it is possible that a trailer may be released in the near future. However, it is important to note that Netflix's marketing approach differs from other networks and streaming services, as it often refrains from unveiling new footage until a few weeks prior to the release of a new season. Bearing this in mind, there is a possibility that a trailer for Ragnarok season 3 could be released anytime between now and early August.
