Vikings: return to the world of Ragnar and his sons?

Michael Hirst would like to revive the Vikings series without the help of Netflix.

Invited to the Monte Carlo Television Festival, the Vikings creator said he was preparing a potential sequel after six seasons and 89 episodes: “I miss Ragnar and his sons. They are like friends. I lived with them for so long… Every morning when I went into my office, it was like I was going to find out what they were up to… So maybe we’ll see each other soon… I say so… But it’s possible! I’m currently considering a project with some of the returning characters…”

Michael Hirst does not want to link the story to the broadcast of the spin-off on the Netflix streaming platform: “We are really at the beginning of the project, so I can’t say more. .. But I know how much people love these characters and will love to see them again. .. I generally unrelated to Valhalla because showrunner Jeb Suart is an action writer. I’m more interested in the characters. So… I don’t watch the series… I don’t need to. I don’t want to hurt myself… I didn’t participate much in the project and I watch quite a lot of shows… I, I’m done. I made my saga. And then they do whatever they want.”

Fans love Vikings, Michael Hirst touched

The endless enthusiasm for the Vikings license surprised Michael Hirst: “It’s great that people are still so passionate about it. When I arrived in Lille for the Series Mania festival last March, I was followed in the streets by a crowd of people! This is the first time this has happened to me! I didn’t understand why, I said “I’m just the author of the series that you know”, and they answered me: “No, no, you are Mr. Vikings.” After all, it’s still a living thing.”The Briton is also pleased with the end of last season: “Two old gentlemen talking, sitting on the beach, talking about existentialism. .. Oh yes!”
