TV show description:
Created and written by Michael Hirst (The Tudors), this TV series takes place in the brutal and mysterious world of Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel), a Viking warrior and farmer who yearns to explore (and raid) the distant shores across the ocean.
Ragnar’s ambition puts him at odds with local chieftain Earl Haraldson (Gabriel Byrne), who insists on sending his raiders to the impoverished east, rather than the uncharted west. When Ragnar teams up with his boat builder friend, Floki (Gustaf Skarsgard), to craft a new generation of intrepid ships capable of conquering the rough northern seas, the stage is set for conflict.
Aside from warfare and bloodshed, the series also tells the story of family and brotherhood; capturing the love and affection between Ragnar and his wife, Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) — a respected warrior in her own right.
Other characters include Ragnar’s brother Rollo (Clive Standen), a fierce fighter who simmers with jealously; Earl Haraldson’s wife Siggy (Jessalyn Gilsig), a dutiful beauty who may be less than loyal; and monk Athelstan (George Blagden), whose Christian morals clash with the Vikings’ pagan society.
Episode #69 — The Last Act
The epic saga which began with Ragnar Lothbrok, the first Viking hero to emerge from the mists of myth and legend, comes to an end in a spectacular and shocking series finale that finds tragedy striking in the new land and in England.
First aired: December 30, 2021.
What do you think? Do you like the Vikings TV series? Do you think it should have ended or been renewed for a seventh season?
LOVE IT, LOVEV IT, LOVE IT!!!!!
I have watched since the beginning. Love it. When will the next season begin? I miss it.
Love it! When will the new series start?
I love this series. I love all the characters and even worry about them. Wish History channel would start with first season and build up so more would watch. I tell family and friends about it but some missed beginnings.
I think more People would watch this if it could be marketed on other channels. I’ve turned family members on to it and love it. They never knew about it. The actors make it so real and gives me a look into the past. I love it. Keep going. If not we might have to be Vikings.
No, don’t cancel. I love this and wat for the next season. I have turned family members on to this. It’s awesome. Totally different from any other show.
Love the show. Keep it please
It has to be renewed. Love the show
Best show ever. Can’t wait for the new season.
Probably one of the best shows ever to be on television.
Great show. I relate to this as I am Norman French and my ancestory goes back to 875 as a Viking Norman. One of my ancestors fought at Hastings with William. The one thing nobody realizes is that blue eyes is a trait that originated in the North of the Ural mountains about 10,000 years ago. Those tribes emigrated to Scandinavia and Germany. Anyone with eyes that are not brown, have some German or Scandinavian roots. From Ireland to Italy and to Kiev, the Norse spread their seed and their heritage.
Not only i enjoy Vikings a lot, but also would like to watch more series about historical periods, no matter how phantasized they are. That´s why i loved The Tudors, Da Vinci Demons (still on) and the super trip GOThrones. 🙂
Cheers

Best Tv show ever!. Finally the story of my ancestors and their huge impact on the world are told in a decent way. I get thrilled every time the show tells the stories I was told in school and see in museums and in my hometown Hobro, close to Fyrkat Viking castle. I hope the series will continue, so the world will understand why Scandinavians are so proud of their ancestors.
Love it. Can’t wait for the next season!!!
best show on TV I would be sad if this show were cancelled
