When could a Vikings season 5 episode 11 return date announcement come?

We’re nearing the end of April, and with that, it’s been a good three months since Vikings season 5 went off the air (anyone else going through serious withdrawals?)

Yet, we are still waiting for a Vikings season 5 episode 11 return date. What gives? It feels that what we’re waiting for at the moment is hardly a production issue. Filming on season 5 has been over for what feels like ages now and with that, we have questions aplenty like what in the world is History is waiting for? Is this just a matter of figuring out the right time to bring the show back on the air?

Personally, we cannot make our stance any clearer if we tried: Vikings season 5 should come back on the air at some point this summer since it feels like prime real estate for this show. With no Game of Thrones this summer we need a great epic to dive into. Also, if the series airs the final ten episodes of the season this fall, then all of a sudden you are throwing yourself up against a lot of competition.

Also, consider this: The first half of Vikings season 5 aired started in the fall of last year! If History is only going to air ten episodes of the show in a single year, eventually what you are doing here is putting yourself in a situation where season 6 would not end for more than two years! That’s a long ways ahead of where the series is in production, though we understand why History would want to keep their flagship show on the air for as long as they possibly can (if you haven’t watched this show you really should immediately if not sooner).

Our feeling is that if Vikings does return this summer, you will likely get an announcement in either May or June and trust us when we say that the moment this news first breaks, we will have news for you here.
