All hail Ragnar Lothbrok!

While the series cannot focus on the humble king forever, History has ordered Vikings Season 4, so all of his adventures and those of his brother, Rollo, ex-wife, Lagertha and son Bjorn and the rest of the Vikings will continue.

"Vikings has raided the hearts of both audiences and critics, establishing itself as one of the most compelling, visually stunning dramas on television," said Dirk Hoogstra, EVP and General Manager, History & H2.

"We are so proud of our immensely talented cast and crew led by Michael Hirst, whose intriguing storylines and pivotal arcs have the perfect balance of scope, smarts and bloodshed to keep our loyal fans watching and wanting more."

To date, Vikings Season 3 is averaging 4.3 million viewers per week.
