'Vikings' Season 4 Spoilers: First Four Episode Titles Revealed; New Romance In Store For Ragnar
It won't be long until Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) and his band of Vikings sails back onto the small screen, but in the meantime, fans of the Irish-Canadian historical drama series can satisfy their appetite for more "Vikings" with the release of the first four episode titles for the show's extended season four.
According to History, who has just ordered four additional episodes for the fourth season of "Vikings," the premiere episode is titled "A Good Treason," Episode 2 is called "Kill the Queen," Episode 3 is "Mercy," and Episode 4 is titled "Yol."
When "Vikings" last aired, Ragnar's kingdom was in chaos, with Rollo (Clive Standen) committing a major betrayal, Ragnar having a close brush with death, Floki's (Gustaf Skarsgard) crimes being uncovered, and Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland) dealing with the Christian preachers.
When the series returns in February, Ragnar will be dealing with his old friend Floki. In a teaser for the upcoming season, the Norse king is seen telling his friend, "You betrayed my trust and, most importantly, my love for you." In another scene, his eldest son Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig) says, "I order the arrest of Floki for the murder of Athelstan."
The third season ended with the fierce battle in Paris that left Ragnar seriously injured. The Norse warrior then returned to Kattegat. Those who have an eye on his throne, including Queen Aslaug and Bjorn, may be preparing to make their move as Ragnar recuperates.
But season four won't all be about injury and betrayal for Ragnar. The arrival of Yidu (Dianne Doan), a Chinese slave who was taken and brought to Kattegat after the battle in Paris, marks the beginning of a new romance for the King. Ragnar, who just so happens to enjoy learning about new things, will be very interested in Yidu's foreign way of life and will be captivated by the slave.
The extended fourth season of "Vikings" premieres on Thursday, Feb. 18, at 10 p.m. ET on the History Channel.
