Actor Ragga Ragnars recalled talking to Hirst about key scenes featuring her character, Gunnhild, and Hirst eagerly folding those ideas into the narrative. The cast praised Hirst as a creative collaborator. He took over the narrative for quite a while he dictated to me.” Once he was up and running, there was so much to say about him. However, Ragnar died at the end of the middle of season four. “In my first outline, I thought and wrote that Ragnar would die at the end of season one. “As a writer, you fall in love with your characters,” he explained, citing the fate of the show’s first protagonist, Ragnar Lothbrok, as an example. However, Hirst made it clear that whatever roadmap he had at the start of the production was subject to change. Whether or not we were going to make it there was another story.” “It was something Michael had talked to me about when I first signed on. “I had always known that Bjorn would one day be the protagonist of the show,” explained actor Alexander Ludwig of his character, Bjorn Ironside. This allowed Hirst, as architect of the series, to make long-term series-spanning plans. There is an epic sweep to Vikings, as its six seasons cover over a quarter of a century in the lives of its characters. It is particularly notable in the case of Vikings because creator and showrunner Michael Hirst has written every single episode of the show, giving the series a unique and distinctive authorial voice across its extended run. This is an impressive accomplishment, particularly in an era of peak television where seasons are getting shorter and shows are less likely to hit the once-important 100-episode landmark. After six seasons and 89 episodes, Vikings is coming to an end with a final half-season streaming on Amazon Prime.
