Fans of "Vikings" season 5 will be happy to know the show's release has been confirmed. There were also rumors that Ragnar will die in the upcoming season. If this is true, who will replace him as the king of Kattegat? Some are guessing that it will be Ivar the Boneless.

Ragnar Has Already Chosen His Successor

A report from Counsel & Heal indicated that Ragnar has already selected the one who will succeed him to the throne in case he is killed. And that one is Ivar the Boneless. He will be a fitting king of Kattegat when "Vikings" season 5 opens since he has a tough heart and skillful. These are traits that qualify him for the position, even if he is not physically whole.

The story of the upcoming season will still revolve around the brothers Ragnar and Rollo. In season 4, Ragnar returns to Kattegat very old, with Rollo still undefeated. Some spoilers hinted that Lagertha Lothbrok (Katheryn Winnick) will go to battle in the second half of the series. She will more than likely win the battle rightly so because she is the first wife of the king.

Ragnar Will Meet His Ultimate Fate

There are spoilers that say Ragnar will meet his ultimate fate in "Vikings" season 5. It will probably be in the hands of King Aelle. If this happens, it will have a major impact on the lives of all the characters of the show. Thankfully, he has already chosen the one who will succeed him to the throne.

There are also rumors that another character will be introduced in "Vikings" season 5. This will be Astrid, a woman, who will be the love interest of Lagertha. It appears that Lagertha has had enough of men because of the many things she had to endure with them. Now, she is turning her eyes to another woman, Astrid. Will her relationship be different this time onwards?
