'Vikings' Season 4 News, Update: Promo Photos Show Intriguing Events; Blue Jays Player Joins Show
The excitement for the return of History Channel's hit historical drama TV series "Vikings" is getting more intense as the weeks pass by.
Enstarz.com recently shared a handful of promo photos released by the network featuring the familiar faces in the Norse drama. Highlighting the list is a photo of Travis Fimmel's King Ragnar Lothbrok sitting coolly in his chair as he appears to gaze upon his domain. The warrior king just survived a close encounter with death in the previous season. This time, Ragnar, will once again lead the charge to Paris.
A couple of images showing him and his brave son, Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig), are also worth noting. The two men are seemingly deep in a conversation. The media outlet cited History teasing that there will be some disagreements between them which would force the young man to embark on a solo journey into the Norwegian wilderness.

Ragnar's brother, Rollo (Clive Standen), is also featured. The character is currently stuck in Paris and is about to marry the land's princess. Will he betray his countrymen for the Christians?
Katheryn Winnick's Lagertha will also be dealing with her own problems back at her earldom in Hedeby. During her absence, the seat was taken by Kalf (Bed Robson). It's highly likely that the two vying parties will settle the dispute in blood.
Floki (Gustaf Skarsgard), meanwhile, is about to face the consequences for killing his king's favorite Christian, Athelstan (George Blagden), back in Season 3. Previous promo videos revealed the boat maker suffering the heavy penalty of his sin.
In related news, Variety.com announced a new casting report indicating the Toronto Blue Jays player Josh Donaldson joining the series. The athlete, according to the media outlet, will take on the role of a certain Hoskuld, described to be "a Viking warrior of great skill." It is yet to be known what episode of the new season the character will be introduced.
