Vikings Forums

The show tells the tale of the epic and violent world of the mighty Norsemen who raided, traded and explored during medieval times. It follows the exploits of historical figure Ragnar Lothbrok and the gripping sagas of Ragnar's Viking crew and family as he struggles to become 'king' of a large part of modern day Scandinavia and Europe.

The show will tell the tale of the driven young Viking warrior, Ragnar Lothbrok, played by actor Travis Fimmel, who longs to discover civilizations across the seas. With the help of his visionary friend Floki, played by Swedish actor Gustaf Skarsg�rd, they build a brand new generation of faster and sleeker ships. Jarl Haraldson, played by Golden Globe-winning actor Gabriel Byrne, is Ragnar's lord and adversary. A man of little vision, the Jarl is suspect of Ragnar's ambitions and goes head to head with him in a struggle for supremacy.
