The original series of the streaming platform is only the second set in the country and the audience is expected to be high in the Scandinavian country. If we include the other Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Sweden), we will have a total of 4 million subscribers.
What to expect from the second season of Ragnarok on Netflix (beware, spoiler)
In the climax scenes of the first season, we had Magne finally fighting against the giant Vidar, leader of the Jutul family. Only when all seemed to be lost did Magne manage to invoke Thor's power, summoning a great lightning bolt. The moment the lightning hit the fighting arena, Magne was knocked unconscious, but it is not known what happened to Vidar.
It is believed that Magne will fight at some point with the remaining Jutuls, even with Fjor wanting to be a better person. The Jutul family is the only one made up of giants that we have seen so far, however if Vidar's death has a devastating impact on his race, they can wait for some giants and gods to appear. Thor's son is discovering his powers little by little and it is likely that he will become even stronger.
Laurits proved to have a somewhat joky personality, leading us to believe that he would be the embodiment of Loki. If he gains powers in the second season, it is very likely that we will see quite a chaos. If we look at who Loki in Nordic mythology, we will see that he is the "God of cheating". It is believed that there will still be a conflict between Magne and Laurits if their true identity is revealed.
