Meanwhile, Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) plans a power play in Kattegat and Bjorn Alexander Ludwig) prepares to fulfill his long-held dream to explore the Mediterranean in a sleek new boat built for him by Floki (Gustaf Skarsgard).

After his defeat in Paris, Ragnar wandered around for a while before he decided return home to his kingdom. However, he comes back to a place that is completely new to him and comes home to a changed family that doesn't recognize him or his presence.

"The brilliant writing and depth of historical research and authenticity brought to the screen by Michael Hirst paired with our talented cast and crew, has made this series one of the most compelling, visually stunning historical dramas on television," said Jana Bennett, President and General Manager of History, in a March press release.

After the Season 4 Part 2 trailer was teased at this year's San Diego Comic Con, fans expected to see the Vikings return this past fall. But we just had to wait a few months longer to see Ragnar's brutal face again.
