Series creator Michael Hirst hinted in a recent interview that the new season will open with the burial of Sigurd (David Lindstorm), who died in season 4. It can be recalled that in the season 4 finale, Ivar (Alex Hogh Andersen) axed his own brother to death.
"These people are playing for possession of the known world. It's not like a little local fight. These are huge territories. The Great Army has conquered a huge part of England. How do we behave now? That's what season 5 opens with," said Hirst.
Reports about season 5 reveal that the death of Sigurd will affect Ivar's claim over his father's throne and will lead to a conflict between him and his brothers. According to reports, the brothers will part ways as they fight over the throne left by Ragnar (Travis Fimmel).
The preview for season 5 also shows Lagertha getting cozy with Ubbe (Jordan Patrick Smith). It remains to be seen if the two characters will have their own romantic storyline next season. That will be quite interesting for fans, considering that it was Lagertha who killed Ubbe's mother. Ubbe also previously attempted to murder Lagertha.
"Vikings" season 5 has no premiere date yet but it is expected to arrive in November.
