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 it”s best show on TV can’t wait every week for it to come on I would watch it every night . Please don’t cancel viking.
You and me both hehe
Viking has all the spirit of a time in transition and shadows the seeds they spread that transformed kingdoms into nations.
My family has loved Vikings from the first episode. Yes it has had a little less ” shine ” to it this season 4 so far. But that could be a build to something epic. My household loves that the sex is not blatantly in your face and leaves a little to the imagination. That’s why we are sticking with the show.
I love this show please don’t cancel!! Vikings is one of the most well written, exciting shows and the actors are wonderful. I think a lot of viewers dropped after Athelstan was killed off and then season 4 Ragnors character was pretty dark but the most recent season 4 Fall shows were great with the sons grown up. With some of the ridiculous shows out there it would be a shame to see such a well done, entertaining, and historically educational program be let go!! Too bad they can’t bring back Athelstan so maybe another such great character will arrive.… Read more »
One of the very best shows on television. Hard to imagine it has such a small viewership. Maybe too violent for people, but some of the best acting and mix of history and drama ever, as far as I’m concerned
I’m related and love it!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it! It’s well done and the acting is great.
I have watched the episodes two or three times each and waiting for season 5 and more. Please bring it back, soon.
We love Vikings! It’s a show we watch with the entire family together! Long live Lagatha!!!!
Everyone in my family loves this show!!!!
Its just to awesome to cancel.
Characters are superb, story line is just awesome. The fact that it follows history so well is a huge educational advantage. It keeps students yearning. Dont let a good thing go to waste. Please please please, the show must go on.
I love Vikings! Please don’t cancel it.
Where are new episodes?
Yes I did enjoy season 4A can’t wait until 4B starts and 5 Ragnar and his sons need to continue through out the entire series!!!!!!!!
I agree with you. Ragnar made this show come to life. He needs to come back and finish it. But I will still watch it anyway
Love this show – very disappointed at the “pause”. Looking forward to the next episodes in the fall of 2016.
