'Vikings' Season 6: Katheryn Winnick Begins Countdown To Release Date

With the release date announcement of “Vikings” Season 6, cast member Katheryn Winnick has officially started the countdown. The plot this time around will be about Ivar’s (Alex Høgh Andersen) revenge, as the brothers fight for the legacy of their father Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel).

Winnick, who will be reprising her role as Lagertha, shared a picture of her character soaked in blood on Instagram. The poster also has a countdown for the return of the popular TV series.

The Queen will get to wear her armor one last time, as she fights to defend her kingdom and her people. The fans will watch her journey with some excitement because the Seer (John Kavanagh) has already predicted that she will die at the hands of a son of Ragnar. It remains to be seen if Ivar will be the one to kill her or if there will be an unexpected twist in the tale.

The trailer of “Vikings” Season 6 that was released earlier this month teased a two-hour special premiere episode. As always, the show will be action packed, with massive battles that will be waged both on land and at sea. Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig) is the new king of Kattegat and his leadership will be put to the test, both in terms of how he will deal with the coming invasion and how he will govern and lead his people.

With 6 seasons, producer Michael Hirst told TV Line that he believes the story of Ragnar and his sons has been told. He called the ending of the show as “bittersweet,” and he teased that the upcoming 20 episodes are “the most ambitious and intensely emotional.”

“Vikings” Season 6 will air on Dec. 4 at 9 p.m. EST. Details about the title of the premiere and the plot will be released online in the coming days.
