History has ordered a sixth season of Vikings two months ahead of the Season 5 premiere.
Katheryn Winnick, who has starred as Lagertha since Season 1, will also make her directorial debut in Season 6.
When Vikings returns for Season 5, it will be the show’s first full season without its former star, Travis Fimmel, whose character Ragnar Lothbrok was killed halfway through Season 4.
Vikings will return Thursday, Nov. 29 at 9/8c for the first half of Season 5.
