History has renewed Vikings for a 4th season, thank God.
Of all the shows I’ve obsessed over in the last five years, Vikings seemed like it was in the running for the axe more than most. A scripted drama about Viking raiders on The History Channel. Surely my love was doomed- but NO. Maybe it’s a result of me yelling at so many people to go watch it, I’d like to think it is, but for season 3’s first 5 eps the show has been averaging 4.3 million viewers a night. Not. Too. Shabby.
We know we’re going to see Ragnar sack Paris, but a season 4 opens up the question of which historically-based storylines will we see next? Ragnar’s historicity is questioned, various deeds having been attributed to more probably sources, but there’s still legend left to mine, here. I am not, however, super jonesed about the idea of seeing him die, because ugh, my heart. Probably where we’re heading, though.
Whatever. Onward to Valhalla!
