We are delighted to announce that Karlis Arnolds Avots and Alina Tomnikov have been cast in key roles in the upcoming Prime Video epic drama series, BLOODAXE. Karlis plays Egil, a poet, farmer, murderer, sorcerer, ladies’ man, and a bit of a psychopath, who is seeking revenge on Erik Bloodaxe, for the exile of his family to Iceland by Erik’s father, King Harald Fairhair. Alina portrays the dual roles of Greta and The Seer. Greta is an esteemed shield maiden and close member of Bloodaxe’s trusted group of warriors. However, it’s revealed that she has the ability to transform into the form of an ancient woman, known as The Seer, who possesses an all-seeing power, and the ability to divine the future as ordained by the gods themselves. BLOODAXE is produced by MGM Television and created by Michael Hirst and Horatio Hirst. The series will follow the story of Erik Bloodaxe and Gunnhild, Mother of Kings, set against the backdrop of 10th-century Scandinavia.
