‘Ragnarok’ has seen enormous popularity since its January 2020 Netflix premiere and is now one of the most well-known Nordic series available on the streaming service. The show has generated great interest since its quick renewal for a second season in May 2021.
On August 24, 2023, the concluding season of this unique Norwegian coming-of-age superhero series (season 3) will make its global Netflix debut. ‘Ragnarok’ is ready to make a lasting impression after engrossing viewers for three years.
But the major question is: Will a season 4 of Ragnarok exist? Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming season.
Ragnarok Season 4 is Canceled!
Season three of Netflix’s Ragnarok is finally ending, and to be honest, fans should have anticipated this.
Since the first time we encountered Magne, a teenage boy who turns out to be the Norse god of thunder, Thor, reincarnated, the narrative of four giants from Norse mythology and the gods that stand against them has been building to the end of time.
Seasons two and three of Netflix’s Norwegian-language series were separated by two years, but despite this, the show has a devoted fan base that will be disappointed to see Magne’s narrative end.
David Stakston, the actor who plays the god of Thunder, was hesitant to wrap up the beloved saga of Magne when it time to taking on his final story arc.
“When I first read the last episode, I asked myself, ‘How am I going to pull this off?'” Stakston acknowledged in an interview.
Herman Tømmeraas, better known by his stage as Fjor, concurred, saying, “I couldn’t really see how it would make sense,” but he was “pleasantly surprised” later.
Though we’re happy that Ragnarok provided the gratifying resolution we’d always known it might have, we can’t help but question why it had to end at this particular point.
Why was Ragnarok canceled?
Netflix said that Ragnarok season three premiered on June 15, 2023, and that it will be the last installment of the series at the same time.
“This is the result of everything,” an official statement from Netflix read. “As an epic final battle of gods against giants draws near, Magne’s fortitude will face its ultimate trial.”
In the absence of any contrary information, it appears that the conclusion of Ragnarok after three seasons was always inevitable. The battle against the Jutuls has been escalating rapidly, and it’s difficult to see this particular struggle extending over a further season following this one.
It’s also important to remember that, particularly on Netflix, finishing three seasons is a very remarkable accomplishment in the current streaming era.
Though Ragnarok did attract a global audience, ranking in the top 10 in several European nations, it’s not exactly a household brand among casual viewers (unlike, example, Stranger Things, which will return for a fifth season at some point).
Raganrok Season Four Cast Insights
The fourth edition of the series has already been canceled by the makers. We may anticipate the reappearance of all the gods and giants who were previously featured in Ragnarok (if it happens anytime), with a focus on the much anticipated Ragnarok event.
Magne (David Stakston) and his half-brother Laurits (Jonas Strand Gravli) will definitely reprise their roles, as per the official news announcements. Also anticipated to join the cast are the gods Harry (Benjamin Helstad), Iman (Danu Sunth), and Wotan (Bjrn Sundquist). Theresa Frostad Eggesb’s Saxa, will also be playing a big part in the upcoming season.

Ragnarok season 4 potential plot twists and updates
There is no update on the plot since the series is canceled. However, the plot would have been the same if it continued in the future.
The good and the bad were really jumbled together in Ragnarok’s second season, wherein the contemporary Loki, known as Laurits, began engaging in sinister pursuits. Saxa changed her mind as well and chose to back Magne rather than the Jutul family, which was quite interesting.
In the second season’s finale, Laurits unleashes a potent monster called Jörmungandr that has the ability to kill Thor since she feels betrayed by Magne. In season 3, Magne now has to contend with Laurits, the nasty Jutul family, and this perilous new species all at once.
Magne won’t be alone, thankfully. He’ll have the backing of other deities introduced in season 2, and if Norse mythology is any indicator, there may be more on the way.
