'Vikings' Season 5 News: New Teaser Artwork Revealed By History
Can't wait for "Viking" Season 5? Well History just released a new teaser art for the upcoming season set to premiere next month.
The art features the series' core characters: Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig), Ivar the Boneless (Alex Høgh Andersen), King Harald Finehair (Peter Franzén), Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) and Ubbe (Jordan Patrick Smith) along with the words "Who Will Rise."
Needless to say, the words echo everything that has been building up last season following the death of Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) which is the battle for the position of king. Ragnar's death also heralds a new era for the series which has followed his rise to power for its majority. It would be interesting to see which of character will take center stage or will the series divide its focus among all of them.
