History announced Vikings season four part two will premiere on November 30, 2016 at 9pm ET/PT. The series is moving to Wednesdays for the second part of season four starring Travis Fimmel, Clive Standen, Linus Roache, Katheryn Winnick, Gustaf Skarsgard, and Alexander Ludwig. Part one of the current season has garnered 4.3 million viewers and, according to History, is one of the top 10 cable scripted dramas.
“This season is monumental and unlike anything we’ve ever done,” stated series creator/writer Michael Hirst. “We’ve propelled Vikings to the topmost level of historical drama as we follow storylines inspired by real life events such as Bjorn Ironside sailing through the Mediterranean and Ivar the Boneless becoming the most feared warrior of all time. It’s not a story of one man, but a saga of Ragnar and his sons.”
Season five of the critically acclaimed drama is currently shooting in Ireland.
The Plot: After being defeated in a monumental battle in Paris against his brother Rollo (Clive Standen), Ragnar disappeared following his humiliating loss. Vikings then took an enormous leap forward during the midseason finale, time-jumping to a new era in its characters’ lives.
In the midseason premiere, Ragnar’s reappearance in Kattegat triggers a chain of events no one – except the Seer – could have ever imagined. He unexpectedly arrives home to see what has become of his sons and to handle unfinished business in Wessex with King Ecbert (Linus Roache). Meanwhile, Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) plans a power play in Kattegat and Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig) prepares to fulfill his long-held dream to explore the Mediterranean in a sleek new boat built for him by Floki (Gustaf Skarsgård).
