Check out some snippets from the &#8220;Vikings&#8221; conference call featuring the show&#8217;s creator and executive producer, Michael Hirst and learn more about this Sunday&#8217;s episode and what you can look forward to in Season Two. <\/p>\n<p><strong>On writing the season finale:<\/strong> &#8220;I was trying to write it with Season Six in mind&#8230;I certainly didn&#8217;t want it to end at the end of Season One. We&#8217;ve got these great characters up and running. There&#8217;s a lot to say, a lot to tell about Ragnar, who is, of course, a historical character who had an extraordinary career and we&#8217;ve really only [just] got going with him. So, there are, in fact&#8230;a number of issues&#8230;that [we] needed another season at least to resolve and deal with&#8230;I was extremely happy when it was picked up again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>On Rollo&#8217;s conflict between his brother and his ambition:<\/strong> &#8220;[This theme is] a very, very big issue in the finale. You can feel for [Rollo] to some extent. He does live in the shadow of an extremely successful sibling who&#8217;s becoming increasingly famous. In Viking society, fame and renown were very, very important. So, you have a guy who is clearly a great warrior, clearly a great fighter and he&#8217;s suffering in comparison with his outstandingly gifted brother. He has lots of unresolved issues, including, of course, his continuous love for Lagertha, his brother&#8217;s wife&#8230;The relationship between Ragnar and Rollo comes to a head in the last episode.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>On King Horik:<\/strong> &#8220;King Horik is, again, a historically-based character. He&#8217;s a very important character and I was delighted with Donal [Logue]&#8217;s casting as this character. He does develop very, very significantly in the new season. I&#8217;ve already started to write the next season. He&#8217;s a major player, a major character. he&#8217;s also, I have to say, without giving anything away, he&#8217;s also a very complex character. He&#8217;s a somewhat unexpected character. It&#8217;s very difficult to read him. I think audiences will find him full of contradictions, and this makes him, to me as a writer, very fascinating. He&#8217;s obviously entered as a sympathetic character by-and-large as an ally of Ragnar&#8217;s, but things will develop from there and it&#8217;s not going to be such an easy ride&#8230;He&#8217;s going to be a very major force in the coming season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Legendary-World-of-Vikings-Told-in-History-Channels-First-Scripted-Series.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Legendary-World-of-Vikings-Told-in-History-Channels-First-Scripted-Series.jpg\" alt=\"Legendary World of Vikings Told in History Channel&#039;s First Scripted Series\" title=\"Legendary World of Vikings Told in History Channel&#039;s First Scripted Series\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-114596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Legendary-World-of-Vikings-Told-in-History-Channels-First-Scripted-Series.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Legendary-World-of-Vikings-Told-in-History-Channels-First-Scripted-Series-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Legendary-World-of-Vikings-Told-in-History-Channels-First-Scripted-Series-1024x599.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The season finale of History&#8217;s &#8220;Vikings&#8221; airs this Sunday at 10\/9c and Shockya has the scoop on what you can expect.
