Some three weeks before the second half of the fourth season of the historical drama TV series “Vikings” airs on the History Channel, the latest teaser has already been released by the network.
It seems that Rollo, played by Clive Standen, will come to a realization that he is still a Viking despite joining being in Paris to join Charles.
In an exclusive promo released by IGN recently, Rollo was shown regretting his decision and was even quoted as saying that he cannot deny that part of him is still a Viking no matter how he hard he tries to get rid of it.
In a recent interview, actor Clive Standen said that the time of Rollo’s life is where he left his Viking gods behind for a long time and it is time for him to see whether he made the right decision or not, reports the International Business Times of India.
The actor added that Rollo is now undergoing mid-life crisis so he is hedging his best between the two sets of gods – his Viking gods and the Christian gods.
Going back to Kattegat?
There are even reports saying that Rollo might decide to return to his roots in Kattegat and work together with his brother King Ragnar Lothbrok, played by Travis Fimmel.
However, based on previous episodes, if looks like the alliance of Rollo and Ragnar would not happen since Rollo already betrayed his brother twice and also nearly killed him during the second battle of Paris. The defeat in the hands of his brother Rollo forced Ragnar to do some soul-searching and leave his throne in Kattegat to Queen Aslaug, played by Alyssa Sutherland.
The trailer of “Vikings” Season 4B also showed the showdown between Lagertha, played by Katheryn Winnick, and Queen Aslaug as both Viking women challenge each other.
When Aslaug reminds the Vikings shieldmaiden that she is the queen, Lagertha said that Aslaug will never be Queen of Kattegat because she never forgets anything.
Ragnar still alive in Season 5
Contrary to previous reports before the start of Season 4 of “Vikings” early this year that the current fourth season would see the death of King Ragnar, showrunner Michael Hirst just confirmed that the Norse King will still be alive in the fifth season of the show, reports the Parent Herald.
In a recent interview, Travis Fimmel and Gustaf Skarsgard, who plays Floki in “Vikings,” said that the second half of the fourth season would be shocking and that there will be big events coming that viewers should really watch out for.
The two actors also confirmed that Ragnar will not be among the major characters who will be dying in the second half of Season 4, which ultimately means that the King of Kattegat would still be part of the fifth season of the TV series when it airs next year.
Travis Fimmel actually revealed in the interview that King Ragnar is well and truly involved in “Vikings” Season 5. He said that he has been filming King Ragnar Lothbrok scenes in the fifth season of “Vikings” since the San Diego ComicCon held in July.
After six months of hiatus, the second half of “Vikings” shall be returning on November 30 on a new timeslot and day too.
It could be a strategy on the part of the History Channel but the mere return of “Vikings” Season 4 is more than enough to make its fans happy and excited.
The first half of the “Vikings” Season 4 featuring 10 episodes ended before the HBO hit series “Game of Thrones” Season 6 aired so the speculations then were saying that the former does not want to go head-to-head with the world’s most popular TV series.
However, even after the Season 6 finale of “Game of Thrones,” History Channel still did not air the second half of “Vikings” Season 4, spawning speculations that the TV series might have already been canceled.
