It is possible that the History Channel made some programming changes and it finally saw the end of November as the perfect time to air Season 4B of “Vikings.”
Despite the long break in between halves, showrunner Michael Hirst says that Season 4 of “Vikings” is monumental and unlike anything that the production team has ever done.
He said that the second half of “Vikings” Season 4 will reflect all their collective efforts to propel the TV series to the topmost level of historical drama as they follow storylines inspired by real life events.
Hirst disclosed that the second half of Season 4 will feature Bjorn Ironside sailing through the Mediterranean and Ivar the Boneless becoming the most feared warrior of all time. He explained that it is not going to be a story of one man but a saga of King Ragnar Lothbrok and his sons.
There are now reports saying that Hirst is now in Ireland for the filming of Season 5 of “Vikings” and the latest news is that Jonathan Meyers, winner of the Golden Globes for his portrayal in “The Tudors” shall be joining the cast in a still undisclosed role.
Based on the synopsis of the midseason premiere of “Vikings” Season 4, the reappearance of King Ragnar in Kattegat would trigger a chain of events that no one could have ever imagined.
