Epic drama, Vikings, returns exclusively to HISTORY® for the UK premiere of the hotly- anticipated and adrenaline-fuelled second series.
Created and written by Michael Hirst, the brains behind the Academy Award-winning film Elizabeth and Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated series The Tudors, Vikings follows the action-packed adventures of heroic Norse warrior and family man, Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) as he longs to find and conquer new lands.
As battle preparations are made, allegiances are chosen and Ragnar joins forces with Viking ruler King Horik (Donal Logue). Their alliance leads to a storm-tossed landing on the coast of Wessex, a kingdom ruled by King Ecbert (Linus Roache); a leader not unlike Ragnar himself.
As the battle approaches, tensions are running high. With his own flesh and blood turned against him, there can only be one victor, but can Ragnar really bring himself to take on his brother and ultimately alter their legacy forever?
Meanwhile, Ragnar’s romantic indiscretions with Princess Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland) threaten his marriage with wife and warrior Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick). Princess Aslaug begins her journey to Kattegat with a surprise that will leave Ragnar in a life-changing predicament. Will the powerful Earl be able to hold his ground in love as well as the battle field?
With a star-studded cast also including British star George Blagden (Les Miserables) as Athelstan, Jessalyn Gilsig (Glee) as Siggy, Alexander Ludwig (The Hunger Games) as Bjorn and Gustaf Skarsgård (The Wizard’s Daughter) as Floki, Vikings is one epic adventure not to be missed!
