One of the main reasons why History Channel’s “Vikings” is such a major hit, is because of the glorious racket that the Norse heroes so effortlessly cause. Their battles are worthy of watching. History Channel is essentially known for showcasing documentaries. But “Vikings” is such a major hit that the network can’t seem to get its hands on the original series.
The company confirmed that “Vikings” Season 5 was officially in the making. According to a report by Den of Geek, they further stated that the next installment will consist of 20 episodes.
If all falls into place, History Channel will premiere the show’s fifth season on November 29.
The Trailer for Season 5
The first trailer of the battle-drama series was initially launched at San Diego’s Comic-Con event. “Vikings” key character, Floki was seen on a journey in a magical land with waterfalls. Many expert reviewers, including Den Of Geek, described the scenario as being “religious.” In one of the clippings, Ivar is also seen expressing his regret over his actions from the previous season. In “Vikings” Season 4, Ivar murdered Sigurd in a fit of anger. This has seriously made all the major Lords and the King himself quite upset. They are currently contemplating on what could be done with Ivar, as he pleads innocence.
