Vikings Season 4 Filled with Disloyalty and Backstabbing, Possibly Most Dramatic Season Yet
“Vikings” is a show filled with drama and constant emotions, but it looks like the upcoming season 4 could outdo even what we’ve seen so far, as there are some rumors that the new episodes might be particularly filled with tense moments. The topic of betrayal is said to be particularly heavily accented in the new season, and with all the rumors we’ve been hearing about the episodes coming out in 2016, this sounds like it could be an amazing season with lots of moments to remember.
Fans might not exactly like all developments that are planned if most rumors turn out to be true though, as there are some particularly nasty claims about certain things that might happen in the new season. After faking his death, Ragnar had a sharp strategic advantage which he was quick to make use of, but we don’t know how the season is going to proceed after that, as the story can realistically swing in many ways.
But it was not just a ruse meant to give him an edge in battle, as Ragnar was also able to learn certain things which he would have never known otherwise, giving him the upper hand in some of his private relationships and allowing him to truly know who has his back and who is more careful about their own interests.
Floki in particular is likely going to get hit hard once Ragnar gets his revenge, as his revelation was quite dramatic to hear. The death of Athelstan will have to be avenged for sure, but knowing Ragnar, he will likely plan this in a careful, controlled manner in order to truly get the most out of the situation instead of just going for a quick, bloody revenge. Of course, anything is possible with the character, and one of the good bits about him has been his relatively unpredictable nature, and looking at the way season 4 is starting to shape up, it could show a new side to the character.
The conflicts surrounding the throne will also play a major role in the new season from what it seems, but we don’t know if fans will be too pleased with the final outcome, judging by some of the rumors that are going around. It’s obvious that the producers of the show aren’t going to let this topic go lightly, as there is a lot of potential for some dramatic moments here, and of course they also aren’t going to give away any serious spoilers beforehand.
There is still some time left to go before the show returns to the screen, and with about a month and a half left, the producers have some time to get their fans hyped up and reveal some interesting details about their plans for the new episodes. There are already various rumors about what they have lined up for the season, but nothing concrete, and fans are of course constantly speculating.
It’s worth noting that the producers are likely well aware of those speculations as they have shown before that they are keeping an active eye on them. They are definitely interested in what their fans have to say about the show, and in some cases it can even be argued that some of the ideas from those discussions have made their way into the show itself in one form or another, although of course we wouldn’t expect the producers to actually reveal that if it was really true.
