Vikings ending? Star Travis Fimmel and showrunner Michael Hirst have opened up on the death of Ragnar Lothbrok, but with a fifth season already renewed and the potential for more to come, insist this isn’t the end of the show, per THR:
Fimmel: Michael has always been great about that; he’s not so predictable — with the time jumps, with people dying. It felt right for the show. The episodes that follow my death are fantastic. It works well for the show and the young actors to keep the audience.
Hirst: This is the saga of Ragnar and his sons, I didn’t want to suggest to the audience that the death of Ragnar meant some huge breaking point in that saga, it’s just part of the weight. So Ragnar’s sons will continue the saga. This isn’t the end of Ragnar Lothbrok, Ragnar will live on in his fame. He will live on because he was the most famous Viking of the time. But he also of course will live on through his sons. I never wanted this story to end when Ragnar dies physically. We’ve shot roughly 25 more hours of TV now after Ragnar’s death and we are a long way down the line. We are really embracing the sons, but Ragnar hasn’t gone away because Ragnar is still the inspiration.
Does Vikings have a future beyond Season 5? Stay tuned as we continue monitoring the cancel/renew status of Vikings Season 6…
