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?
It is the best drama on TV, & for a change does have real historical roots. Keep this on as long as possible. Last episode was Great.
Keep it going! It may have come to a lull after Ragnar’s death for a few episodes, but is quickly building back up!!
Love Vikings. Continue as long as history remains interesting.
Love the series, so glad we get at least another season!
Love the series, wish you hadn’t killed Ragnar off, hopefully someone can fill his absence next season. Will continue to watch
I absolutely love the show Vikings and honestly cannot wait for season 5! I just finished binge watching it on demand season one thru four. It’s excellent. Please bring more episodes to the viewers.
Love this show. Keep it going.
The Vikings series is inspiring and educational. Please keep the episodes coming.
I love this show since it began, if it was up to me the show would stay on for a long time, unfortunately I don’t understand why people don’t care to watch such a educated show , who teaches us a little history..Honestly I just don’t think anyone cares about any origins and past history at all, so sad!
I love this show! Please don’t cancel it.
The Vikings series has been such a rich historical and educational show from the start. Please don’t cancel even though the series main character Ragnar has died. His sons will carry the popularity of this series and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
I love this series, please don’t cancel
How do they expect to go on without ragnar
Well yes it won’t be the same without Ragnar that’s a given, however, history as it was did not stop with his passing, neither should the show, according to wiki at least to of his sons will become famous kings and leaders with adventures if their own. I think the show can still be interesting even tho I personally already miss Ragnar. Yet I am looking forward to season 5.
No Ragnar ? Please tell me that is a mistake. I can’t watch it at time it is on, so I tape and “binge”. He is such a dynamic character with a good sense of what is possible. Please find a way to bring him back. Stranger things have happened.
My husband and I both really love this series and hope it never ends! My sister and her husband in another state feel the same way. All our friends are watching it!!!! Like the review before, please keep renewing the Viking!!!
The Vikings tv series is like King Ragnar,unique, rare, eclectic, intriguing, and I can go on and on. Thank you History channel for continuing to give us good tv and educating our minds with great history!
