Planned Vikings series Valhalla may be subject of injunction proceedings
Summary
In a High Court hearing on 28 November 2019, Berlin‑based W2 Filmproduktion Vertriebs GmbH sought an injunction against Irish film producers Morgan O'Sullivan and James Flynn over plans to produce a sequel to the TV series 'Vikings'. W2 alleges that the producers diverted about €40 million from Octagon Films Ltd, a company in which all parties are shareholders, and that the funds from the proposed 'Vikings Valhalla' series should be paid to Octagon. The producers deny any diversion of funds to themselves or to corporate entities they control. The case, which began in 2016, was returned to Justice Theresa Pilkington after the defendants requested an extension to comply with discovery orders issued in June. The defendants argue the discovery, involving over 500,000 documents and estimated at €900,000, is voluminous and should be completed by December 2020.
