"Vikings" season 4 managed to keep fans at the edge of their seats as they are yet to know Ragnar and Lagertha's fate. It was revealed that the fourth season of "Vikings" will solely revolve on Ragnar's return and Lagertha's new lover will also be revealed.
Ragnar Lothbrok will soon return and the entire season 4 will explain as to why he returned. Though it is a given fact that Ragnar will eventually meet his maker, it is yet to be explained on how he died, when he will die and what will happen after.
During his interview with Entertainment Weekly, Michael Hirst dished out a few details in regards to Ragnar's fate. Hirst highlighted that the second half of the season would no longer focus on what Ragnar did while he vanished. He then added that the main focus of the rest of "Vikings" season 4 would be the reason as to why Ragnar returned.
"Obviously, time has passed. Ragnar had lost a huge battle, and actually, normally, in Viking society at that time, if your leader, Earl or King had lost in that way, they would quickly have been killed and replaced, because it was a meritocracy," Hirst told Entertainment Weekly. "But Ragnar was different because he was the most famous Viking in Scandinavia. But for him, the shame of losing was too great to stay around. He absented himself. But he was too famous to immediately replace."
As for Lagertha's fate, on the other hand, it was mentioned that she will have a new lover. Though it may seem far off, it was teased that her new lover would come as a surprise as she will be falling in love with Astrid, and yes she is a female character.
