Vikings will pillage and plunder for at least another season. Deadline reports the History TV show has been renewed for a fifth season.
It’s also been announced Jonathan Rhys Meyers will join the season five cast.
The renewal is a little bit surprising. Though History added four more episodes to season four of the historical drama, the current season has not performed well in the ratings. Only four episodes in, season four is averaging just around 2.1 million viewers per episode. For comparison, season three averaged around 2.45 million.
Despite the middling ratings, History has ordered 20 episodes for the fifth season, which is set to premiere in 2017.
What do you think? Do you watch Vikings? Are you enjoying season four so far?
I love this show!!!!! please don’t cancel!!!
I love the viking series and cannot wait to see another episode every Thursday.please keep airing the show. For me its a 20 out of 10
My family enjoys Vikings very much. The historical aspect and characters are very interesting. We like the fact that it doesn’t stray too far from the actual historical facts. The show is both well written and well acted.
I am very pleased with Vikings. The characters are excellent and the history does not stray too far.
The English are potentially a weak point in the series but the introduction of Alfred,(Alfred the Great), although a boy;is an historical figure,as is Rollo, who introduces what ultimately became the Normans in England.
I also think the characters make a strong cast.
This series is renewed because it very much serves as a classic template for future series appropriate for the History channel.
Does the rating also includes online streaming?
Does the drop in TV rating shares the same trend as the drop in the series rating?
yow da fuc does that supposed 2 mean am only seeing galz comments here Viking s nt women ‘s show only hey men gave it try.anywy happy wit d renewal thnks u creators
Love the series, will be sorry to see it end. Read a series of books on the vikings and have enjoyed seeing all of the boats and the way they lived brought to life rather than having just the pictures in my head.
This season is weird, I’m still enjoying but Ragnar needs to get off the drugs! I love Rollo!
Ragnar is becoming drug addicted. I do not enjoy watching the great Ragnar losing his power, strength, and control. He is no longer the Ragnar I enjoyed sooo much..
Binge watching it right now. Almost done. What will I watch then??? I especially like Gustaf Skarsgard’s (Floki) performance, and of course Ragnar is major eye candy. The actress playing his ex wife reminds me of Scarlett Johansson. In any case very happy it’s been renewed for a 5th Season.
I love VIKINGS, as well… hmph… did you notice all the women love Vikings?
Must be cause of Ragnar!
YES so glad to see this happen i love the show cant get enough of it great story and great actors so yes i am glad to see this will be returning again
Vikings is another favorite show of mine. I’m glad it was renewed for 5th season.
LOVE Vikings!!! It’s a great show and they better not cancel it! Love that Jonathan Rhys Meyers is coming to Vikings.
So happy! One of my favorite shows!
