What is Ragnarok about? 

Ragnarok is a Norwegian fantasy drama series inspired by Norse mythology. The show premiered on Netflix on Jan 31, 2020. Ragnarok takes place in the fictional Norwegian town of Edda in Hordaland, Western Norway. The town is plagued by climate change and the industrial pollution caused by the factories owned by the local Jutul family, the fifth-richest family in Norway.

The Jutuls are actually four Jötnar posing as a family in Edda. They are challenged by Magne, a teenage boy who is surprised to learn that he is the embodiment of Thor, and begins the fight against those that are destroying the planet. Let's have a look at the Ragnarok season 2 cast.
