Fans of History’s Vikings have been celebrating the return of the show all week, and the network knows it. Aside from a special airing ahead of the premiere where Ivar the Boneless asks the Seer to tell him the saga of Lagertha, there is also a facebook live event with the cast going on RIGHT […]

History Channel’s Vikings has given audiences some pretty incredible characters and performances. From Travis Fimmel’s rockstar swagger heavy King Ragnar Lothbrok to Katheryn Winnick’s force of nature mother-shield maiden-Queen Lagertha and Gustaf Skarsgard’s maniacal visionary Floki, it seemed there could not be yet another person of larger-than-life status. That is, until show creator and writer Michael […]

Last week on Vikings, Ragnar returned to Kattegat after 10 years away.  His sons have become men, his current wife has made a mess of almost everything in Kattegat, and Lagertha has continued to rule her Earldom while planning revenge. “The Vision” continues much of what was already set in motion, a very depressed and downtrodden […]

One of the best scripted action/dramas currently on tv, History’s Vikings continues to get better and better. I was lucky enough to end up in their pressroom again this year, and they gave us drinking horns! My interview with the cast starts with Katheryn Winnick (Lagertha Lothbrook) and Alexander Ludwig (Bjorn Lothbrook): Katheryn:  (to me) Oh, hi!  Nice to […]

What can I say about HISTORY’s Vikings that I haven’t already stated 10,000 times?  The series’ double length 4th season has just about everything I look for in my television dramas, with the added bonus of being better episode-for-episode than it’s big budget cousin, Game of Thrones over on HBO.  Rollo (Clive Standen) Princess Gisla (Morgane Polanski) […]

The History Channel took a gamble four years ago on the first scripted drama for their programming.  Thankfully they knew what gold they had with creator/writer Michael Hirst (Elizabeth, Tudors), and gave the series based on historical Norse King Ragnar Lothbrook and his adventures. Going into it’s fourth season, the series has garnered several award […]
