The Final Ten Episodes of History's VIKINGS Will Air on Amazon Prime Before The History Channel
The epic series Vikings is coming to an end and the final ten episodes of the sixth and final season are set to air on Amazon Prime before they are released on the History Channel. Those episodes will drop on Amazon on December 30th. There’s no word yet on when they will roll out on History.
Vikings creator, executive producer and sole writer Michael Hirst said in a statement:
“Our monumental Vikings saga is coming to its conclusion, but not before you’ve had to chance to watch some of my all-time favorite episodes. Prime Video will uniquely expose the series finale to a streaming audience first. Prepare to be astonished, and for many surprises along the way. And if you have tears to shed, then also be prepared to shed them.”
Brad Beale, vice president of worldwide content licensing for Prime Video added:
“Prime Video has already delighted Prime members with all five and a half seasons of ‘Vikings’. On December 30, Prime members in the US, UK, Germany, Austria and Ireland will be the first to learn the fates of the beloved characters as the epic drama concludes in the final ten episodes.”
I always found it incredible that Hirst wrote every single episode of the Vikings series. That’s one of the main reasons why I think the show is so damn good. The story that this series has told has been so damn good and I can’t wait to see how it all comes to an end!
The first 10 episodes of Season 6 aired on History earlier this year and it ended with an epic battle between the Rus and Vikings where brother fought brother, Bjorn Ironside (Alexander Ludwig) fighting for his homeland alongside King Harald (Peter Franzen) against Ivar the Boneless (Alex Høgh Andersen), now fighting with the Rus forces in an attempt to gain control of Norway.
While Vikings is coming to an end, Hirst is developing a sequel series titled Viking: Valhalla, which is coming to Netflix. So, that’s something we can all look forward to watching! That story will be set 100 years after the conclusion of the original show.
