Vikings Season 5 Premieres Tomorrow, So Let's Catch Up

History Channel's epic adventure series Vikings comes back tomorrow night for its fifth season. Originally, this was going to be the very last for the show, but the network opted to bring it back for another. Sources can't seem to agree if this happened because of the outpouring of love and support for the show witnessed at SDCC 2017, but it probably didn't hurt the decision either.

Vikings season 5

Fans of the series may recall the end of season 4 was a harsh one, the loss of father and king Ragnar Lothbrok played so wonderfully by Travis Fimmel. Bjorn Ironside (Alexander Ludwig) as the eldest of the Lothbrok sons led his brothers in the raid.

We were introduced to the new warrior on the block, Heahmund (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) the crusader priest. I say crusader only because of his sword.

Season 5 of Vikings will be jam-packed with action and intrigue, if the trailer is anything to go from:
