Season six of Vikings is expected to be premiering at the end of 2018. Judging by the debuts of seasons four and five, the sixth cycle is most likely to be airing at the end of November this year. There are going to be another 20 episodes in season six which will be split in half with a midseason hiatus in between. Once again Vikings creator Michael Hirst will be writing the episodes which are loosely based on historical events and real-life figures. VIKINGS SEASON 5, EPISODE 11 RELEASE DATE


Vikings season six was confirmed by US network History last year shortly before the fifth run with TV executive Eli Lehrer saying: "Vikings has creatively sailed to monumental lengths. “The series has evolved from early raids in England, to the heart-stopping death of Ragnar Lothbrok, to the fierce battles of the Great Heathen Army, and now we'll see the sons of Ragnar exploring and conquering the known world. “[Creator] Michael Hirst has only scratched the surface of his epic saga. We look forward to continuing our partnership with one of the greatest writers in this era of Peak TV and entertaining our viewers with 40 new episodes over the next two seasons." However, before then Vikings fans will be able to watch the second half of season five which is expected to be airing in the summer. VIKINGS SEASON 5 RETURN DATE
