According to History, Ludwig will play Bjorn, “the intelligent and bold warrior son of Ragnar Lothbrok.” Roache has been cast as Ecbert, King of Wessex, “a man full of strength, knowledge and undisguised ambition.”
Ludwig and Roache join a cast that’s led by Travis Fimmel and includes Katheryn Winnick, Geroge Blagden, Donal Logue, Jessalyn Gilsig, Clive Standen, Gustaf Skarsgard, and Alyssa Sutherland. Season one of the series averaged 4.3 million viewers and portrayed “the world of these Dark Age raiders, traders, explorers – not from an outsider’s view, but through the eyes of Viking society.”
