canceled + renewed TV shows - TV Series Finale

   

Vikings: Season Five Ratings

Published: January 31, 2019

Vikings TV show on History: season 5 ratings (cancel or renew season 6?)

Despite another ratings drop last year, fans don’t have to wonder about whether the Vikings TV show will be cancelled or renewed for a sixth season on History. The cable network picked up season six, back in September of this year. What’s less clear is whether or not that early renewal was for Viking‘s final installment. This time around, will the Norse saga’s Nielsen numbers warrant a seventh season, or even more? Stay tuned.

A History channel action-adventure series, the fifth season of Vikings stars Alexander Ludwig, Alex Høgh Andersen, Peter Franzén, Katheryn Winnick, Jordan Patrick Smith, Gustaf Skarsgård, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. The period drama delves into the Viking warriors and their strange, ruthless world. Season five kicks off with Ivar the Boneless (Andersen) asserting his leadership over the Great Heathen Army, as Queen Lagertha (Winnick) reigns as over Kattegat. Meanwhile, after avenging their father’s death the sons of Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) devise a new strategy. Surprising alliances and astonishing treachery rule the day, even as the Vikings aspire to rule the world.

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.

For comparisons: The fourth season of Vikings on History averaged a 0.66 rating in the 18-49 demographic and a total audience of 2.271 million viewers.

Cable ratings are typically released within a day or so of the show’s airing, except for in the case of weekends and holidays.

A&E | ABC | AMC | Bravo | CBS | CMT | The CW | FOX | Freeform | FX | FXX
Hallmark | HBO | History | MTV | NBC | OWN | Showtime | Starz | Syfy | TBS

What do you think? Do you still like the Vikings TV show? Should History cancel or renew it beyond season six?

Cancelling the show now is throwing in the towel and disappointing the fans you’ve laboured so hard to build… Ragnar gone… Yes! But the story must not forever revolve and end around him. An author is a God,you can do better than that. I saw and expected a lot more from ivar,its not late,dont give up, turn the show around,destroy the movie through the story line and resurrect it with a deus ex machina into glory… We believe in.

As much as I enjoy the Viking sagas, I find the History Channel overwhelmingly dedicated to the same period of history with never-ending plots. The other day, the entire day was devoted to Viking dramas, which is great if your only interested in that period of human history. Surely, there is more to our collective history than Viking stories and World War Two movies. Other crucial periods of history are either non-existent or downplayed on this channel. Furthermore, the inception of western civilisation goes far beyond the Vikings. Greek and Roman Empires; British, Spanish, Dutch, and French colonial periods, the… Read more »

*SPOILER*
Although, This is based on History and should follow its way through it, losing Heahmund is very miserable when he found out what love is. in fact, Standing between lord and human/pagan already destroyed him much. The last scene was a huge sadness to demystify LOVE is above of everything, even Hell. I liked him much and always faith that he was the true warrior of England.

Ever since they got rid of the Star “Ragnar” this show has gone down hill fast. How do you get rid of a main character when a show is in its prime? What a stupid move. I’m done with this show now.

It really doesn’t matter what the creator intention’s were for the show after all! What matter’s is the wide range audience who tuned in every wednesday night and meant to or not, Ragnar was the absolute main attraction! Once Floki and Rolo go MIA…You can kiss the rating’s good bye!

Season 5 without Ragnar & Rollo show not very interesting. Tired of Lagertha & Bjorn. Ivar not vicious enough. Hammond big disappointment thought he would challenge vikings not be their puppet. First 4 seasons were great. Keep the show going if you want but I’m out.

Alerte Spoil ne pas lire pour ne pas être déçu / Spoiler alert , don’t read if you don’t will have deception : Saison 5 épisode 10 : _On nous a promis du sang et des larmes et SURTOUT une énorme bataille. _On a effectivement droit aux “sangs et aux larmes” mais pas 45 minutes de bataille. _les personnages secondaires meurent d’une manière ridicule, ils ne combattent pas vraiment , ils se laissent tuer voire même se sacrifient d’une manière indignent d’une série telle que Vikings (ils ne sont que des agneaux qu’on emmène aux sacrifices). _Floki : le personnage… Read more »

Definitely needs to be kept. The time of year was a weird choice for starting the season though. When comparing the episodes with those aired this time of year last year, the ratings have been about the same. December isn’t the best month for new episodes, especially for a new season. Hopefully the viewing figures will pick up after Christmas like they did last year.

It needs to be finish, I don’t understand why the producers want to keep it, Like any other good show it arrives to its end and if they want to keep it longer there would be nonsense and the show would ruin itself.

The story of Bjorn exploring Italy, spain and north Africa needs to be told. And Floki discovering Iceland is a good addition, maybe Newfoundland next (with native americans in the mix)

Agree with you, “lengthen the stock” is never a good way to keep the audience. Vikings is a good serie but has little to do with real history, Hirst should stop fantasising with the Loðbrók family.
