When did you tell Travis Fimmel [death] was coming? Presumably he knew just from the historical nature of the series.
Showrunner Michael Hirst: Travis came to the show late because I was very unhappy about the people they were trying to cast. I didn’t want a loud Viking, I wanted an intelligent, quiet, thoughtful Viking, and it took Travis quite a long time to come forward. So actually all he had was the first few scripts and the bible for the first season. Now, at the end of the bible for the first season, Ragnar dies. So as far as Travis knew, this was just a one-season job. But as soon as we saw the potential, the great actors, it became clear that Ragnar was needed for much longer.

Ragnar might be dead, but Vikings will live a bit longer at least, with a fifth season already in the bag, and a sixth season renewal next on the agenda.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the survival status of Vikings…
