In historical accounts Aethelred, son of Aethelwulf, became King in the time of Vikings strength. Alfred helped Aethelred defeat the Vikings. How the roles of Ferdia Walsh Peelo and Darren Cahill translate for Ragnar Lothbrok and Ivar in the History series, "Vikings Season 4" Part 2 will soon lay out.

Creator Michael Hirst promised that Ragnar Lothbrok is headed to Wessex to see King Ecbert in "Vikings Season 4" Part 2. This is the introduction of Ragnar Lothbrok and Ivar, not only to Alfred and Aethelred, but also to Jonathan Rhys Meyers who will figure more prominently in "Vikings Season 5."

As Michael Hirst indicated, "Vikings Season 4" Part 2 is pivotal to the series, and the presence of Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Ferdia Walsh Peelo and Darren Cahill cements this. The History series is transitioning from a Ragnar Lothbrok led series into a "Vikings Season 5" where his sons Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig), Ivar, Ubbe, Hvitserk and Sigurd lead in new challenges.

If social media photos from Ferdia Walsh Peelo, Darren Cahill and Alex Hogh Anderson "Vikings Season 5" will be bloody. Probably no more so than "Vikings Season 4" Part 2. The Seer (John Kavanagh) promised Bjorn, "Vikings Season 4" Part 2 will be bloody and catastrophic because Ragnar Lothbrok returned.

"Vikings Season 4" Part 2 will air on Nov 30 in History. "Vikings Season 5" air date is expected to be announced for midseason 2017. Are you ready to see newcomers Ferdia Walsh Peelo as Alfred and Darren Cahill as Aethelred join Jonathan Rhys Meyers in their campaign against Ragnar Lothbrok, Ivar, Ubbe, Sigurd and Hvitserk in "Vikings Season 4" Part 2?
