What’s This TV Show About?
A History channel action-adventure series, the sixth season of Vikings stars Alexander Ludwig, Alex Høgh Andersen, Peter Franzén, Katheryn Winnick, Jordan Patrick Smith, and Marco Ilsø. Danila Kozlovsky, Georgia Hirst, Adam Copeland, Ferdia Walsh-Peelo, Ragga Ragnars, Steven Berkoff, and Eric Johnson have recurring roles. The period drama delves into the Viking warriors and their strange, ruthless world. Season six picks up after the battle which has left Bjorn (Ludwig) victorious and a hero to the people who have been under the tyrannical rule of Ivar (Høgh) for so long. As the new leader of Kattegat, Bjorn struggles to fill his late father’s shoes as king, while facing several dilemmas and wrestling with the idea that power overshadows morals. Meanwhile, Ivar, searching for a new path to separate him from his past, is seen traveling along The Silk Road eventually leading him to Russia.

It’s worth noting that the second half of the season was released via streaming services months before History decided to burn them off on Saturday nights.
Vikings is ending so there won’t be a seventh season. The final 10 episodes were released on Amazon Prime Video on December 30, 2020. History airings began June 5, 2021. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
There’s no need to worry about Vikings being cancelled this time around. History has already announced that this is the final season so, there won’t be a seventh year. On the positive side, the writers have had enough notice to wrap up the show and there’s also a sequel series in the works at Netflix.

What do you think? Are you sorry that the Vikings TV show won’t be renewed for a seventh season? Will you check out the sequel series on Netflix?
History Channel could have advertised … not interested in Hulu or Amazon Prime – at that point you could ram it …. but then History Channel releases it quietly – looks like it will be on dvd before I will watch the end of the Vikings .
Vikings was really the only show I watched for years. I never heard when season 6 was going to air. Caught a couple of episodes of season 6 part 1 by chance one night. Looking forward to part 2 of season 6 I will have to purchase the DVD. Wish it was going to have a season 7 but all good things must come to an end.
Vikings was the best show on the History channel ever ! I use to watch this channel so much as a History teacher, and I really loved the miniseries of the past, but now it is mostly antique shopping and old cars and so boring. Haven’t watched it since Vikings went off.
I am not sure what this last season is trying to explain about the Vikings. Is it just to show a lot of bloody battles or how to torture and murder people. How it is that Ivar is still alive when he cannot move around? He is an easy target yet he continues to survive fight after fight.
i love the vikings, from what i have found on ancestry.com, i’m related to ragnar
This final season was absolute gash. Should have finished after 4, or 3, seasons. No Rus, no Red Indians, no Jesus on the battlefield.
Im eagerly waiting for the seventh season
So sad to see this great show come to a end please re think and bring it backnot happy
A shame ! So much more history’s story to be told with this amazing writing and actors. I’m sad
Why end such an amazing show!!
I don’t want Vikings to end! Loved every season!
we are extremely sad that vikings will not continue. it is the best show that has been on for a long time. and although it is terribly violent, it follows actual history. we have learned so much and would love for the series to continue.
Vikings is the best show ever ever, I loved it so much. I’m sad it’s coming to an end. I hope there was a season 7 .
Looks like it’s NOT coming on tonight. Can’t find anything saying what time, just a bunch of things saying it comes on but nope! Grrr
Could watch another 6 new seasons.. great show!
My son and I have watched Vikings from the beginning. We saw them on the History TV channel and felt they ended with season 6. Apparently not so after searching the internet for info. We have no “smart phones” and we don’t stream. So now we know they were on Prime streaming and here they are 3 two saturdays ago and 5 or 6 next Saturday. Who knew????
The point being – communications were sorely lacking!
