Vikings writer-producer Michael Hirst is in talks to create a companion series set in the same medieval, Scandinavian world, however.

Through the years, the cast of Vikings has included Travis Fimmel, Katheryn Winnick, Clive Standen, Jessalyn Gilsig, Gustaf SkarsgÄrd, Gabriel Byrne, Donal Logue, Alexander Ludwig, Linus Roache and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

Loosely based on Norse legend, the drama initially focused on Fimmel's hero Ragnar Lothbrok, who was killed off in Season 4. The show has since followed the adventures of his family and crew.
