The story follows her journey as the daughter of a lord whose lot in life is to be married to who her father deems fit, and through a series of events, becomes a leader of her people. Thusnelda is a stand out character in the show and one of the three leads.

While you’ll have to wait until the finale to see full-scale warfare i.e. Since the forum is burrying previous threads, I made new thread again. It’s a historical series that jumps right into the thick of the tension, swords sharp and blood aplenty.

When talking about Barbarians Arne Nolting-a writer and showrunner for the show- said, “It’s not a history lesson… We’re making entertainment.” So let your imagination run wild while we wait for more news from Netflix’s end. Hey, there’s even potential that Barbarians goes even further off-script. As for Folkwin? Honestly, it’s hard to tell-maybe he’ll go after Armius as he climbs the tribe’s ranks. If Barbarians goes to that era in Season Two, expect Armenius and Thusnelda to be at the front of the defense.

Barbarians just came into the world on October 23, 2020, so Netflix (typically one to announce next-season plans a couple months after a premiere) hasn’t made any Season Two announcements yet. You might have to hold off on your chest-thumping, fireside party/ceremony/Germanic rave for now. And if we see a Season Two, where, exactly, in history the show would hone in on?
