Katheryn Winnick has played the fierce and beautiful Lagertha for 3 1/2 years now, and as Vikings is set to return tonight, we will soon see the twists and turns of this complex and lovely character. Winnick sat down and blessed some of us with an interview about what’s in store for our favorite shieldmaiden, fight scenes, her relationships, and a little bit about her upcoming role in The Dark Tower.

Check out the interview below.

A new leader is poised to reign in Kattegat on History Channel’s Vikings. One of the most famous vikings in history, Ivar the Boneless, born as a cripple to Ragnar Lothbrok and Aslaug (Travis Fimmel, Alyssa Sutherland), he developed his wits and became a fearsome strategist and leader, conquering much of England.

I had the honor of interviewing Alex Andersen, the young man poised to take the lead as Ivar of this fantastic show. We chatted about his audition, the relationship between Ivar and Ragnar, and his “brothers.”

Check out the interview below.

We do not know young Ivar the Boneless (Alex Høgh Andersen) very well yet. It was not until the jump in time during episode 4.10 “The Last Ship, that we meet him as an adult, with his wit and fierce loyalty to the father his brothers are ready to swear off or even kill (except maybe Bjorn – Alexander Ludwig). The child we saw in earlier seasons was the cause of actions and reactions – Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) almost killed him as a baby, Harbard (Kevin Durand) took away his pain, Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland) gave him to Floki (Gustaf Skarsgard) to mentor, he killed a boy during play.

The History Channel is revving up its video train, and I am loving it. Getting us ready for the second half of season 4, Vikings has given us a web exclusive of one of its most complex characters, Rollo Lothbrok, played by Clive Standen.

Check out Rollo’s journey below.

Now that The History channel’s Vikings has been expanded to 20 episodes (about time!), we get 2 seasons of anticipatory videos in one. Season 4.5 will return in a few weeks, but it’s time for the teases. Gustaf SkarsgÃ¥rd (Floki), Clive Standen (Rollo), Alyssa Sutherland (Aslaug), Alexander Ludwig (Bjorn), and more speak on the expansion of epicness.
