History recently announced the return of their highly-anticipated drama “Vikings,” which begins on February 27th.
The epic tale continues in 10 all-new episodes as the storyline follows Ragnar (Travis Fimmel), a restless young warrior and family man who longs to find and conquer new lands across the sea and claim the spoils as his own. Now he is an Earl, allied with King Horrik (Donal Logue). With more power than ever before, his desire to sail west and explore new kingdoms remains unquenchable. Yet there’s a heavy price to pay for Ragnar’s ascent to greatness. Season two brings crises of faith, of power, of relationships. Brothers rise up against one another. Loyalties shift from friend to foe, and unlikely alliances are formed in the name of supremacy.
New to the cast of “Vikings” are Alexander Ludwig (“The Hunger Games”) as Bjorn, the intelligent and bold warrior son of Ragnar Lothbrok, and Linus Roache (“Law & Order”) as Ecbert, King of Wessex, a man of strength, knowledge and undisguised ambition.
“Season one of ‘Vikings’ was a smash hit for History, captivating a huge and dedicated audience and becoming the top Canadian specialty drama of the year,” said Barbara Williams, Senior Vice President of Content at Shaw Media, in a press release. “With epic storytelling and unforgettable characters, season two delivers more battles, more betrayals and more bitter rivalries that viewers won’t want to miss.”
