‘Vikings' Season 4 Air Date, News & Update: Ivar The Boneless To Avenge Ragnar Lothbrok? Snake Pit Death Tragic Farewell For Kattegat Ruler?

The "Vikings Season 4" midseason premiere signals a crossroads for the History series with Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) setting Viking expansion rolling by tasking Ivar The Boneless (Alex Hogh Andersen) with revenge. The "Vikings" series, by creator Michael Hirst, is changing leadership in Season 4 if the Northumbria snake pit has a say in the fate of Ragnar Lothbrok.

The "Vikings Season 3" finale gave the History series fans a major tease with Ragnar Lothbrok faking his death to set up a Viking version of a Trojan horse in Paris. However, "Vikings Season 4" midseason will be a different story for Ragnar Lothbrok who reacquaints with his sons Bjorn Ironside (Alexander Ludwig), Ubbe (Jordan Patrick Smith), Hvitserk (Marco Islø), Sigurd Snake-In-The-Eye (David Lindstron) and Ivar The Boneless.

If Michael Hirst combined the Vikings Sagas and historical accounts as promised, then Ragnar Lothbrok meets his end in Northumbria from vengeful King Aella and his infamous snake spit at Season 4. "I think if I ever got to a place where history and narrative were in conflict then I would realise that I was barking up the wrong tree," Michael Hirst told History Extra of his work process on the tale of Ragnar Lothbrok.

Michael Hirst further said that the "Vikings" series is now going into Viking expansion into western Europe, Iceland, Greenland and the Mediterranean, which may have been triggered by Ragnar Lothbrok but will definitely be continued by Ivar The Boneless and his brothers. If indeed Ragnar Lothbrok dies in "Vikings Season 4," Ivar The Boneless will debut his historical trademarks.

Ivar The Boneless will lead the army that avenges Ragnar Lothbrok ruler and conquers York as "Vikings Season 4" will depict. Fans of the History series will recall that Ragnar Lothbrok asked vengeance by Ivar The Boneless in the "Vikings Season 4" midseason trailer as Parent Herald reports.

Ragnar Lothbrok further asked Ivar The Boneless to be ruthless in the "Vikings Season 4" midseason tease. Certain historical accounts indicate that Ivar The Boneless did avenge Ragnar Lothbrok.

These accounts also tell that Ivar The Boneless carried out what Ragnar Lothbrok asked of him, and ruthlessly, as requested in the heartbreaking "Vikings Season 4" scene. Fans of the History series will effectively see Ivar The Boneless unleash his capability for brutality with blessings from Ragnar Lothbrok.

History is set to confirm the "Vikings Season 4" midseason premiere air date for this fall. Are you looking forward to having Ivar The Boneless take over from Ragnar Lothbrok when "Vikings Season 4" returns?
