Is a Vikings season 7 renewal possible? Why it’s a possibility

A Vikings season 7 renewal is, at the moment, not exactly a sure thing. History has renewed the series for a sixth season, but at the moment there is no official word beyond that.

One of the things that makes this show so interesting is that it’s based on a period of history that, at least on the surface, is reasonably limitless. The Viking era doesn’t just end with Ragnar, Lagertha, or Ivar. It could continue forward with other characters. Ragnar is already gone, but would it continue without some other characters? That we don’t know.

What does seem possible, though, is that we could have a couple more seasons still to come. For a little bit more news about that, just see what executive producer Michael Hirst had to say to TV Guide. Basically, this conversation stems from a discussion of the character of the Seer making their own big return to the series:

“To some extent he’s talking about Margrethe and her particular situation and mental issues, but in a sense he might be talking about Ivar as well. The Seer is a fantastic character who sometimes tells the truth by not telling the truth. The Seer usually does two things: he answers personal questions, although in a very elusive way. But he’s also talking about the whole drama because he’s seen the end of it already. When he says the mad might inherit the earth he might actually be talking about the end of the whole show, seasons down the line. That’s what I’m aiming for; I have a view of particular events and characters, but like The Seer I know what’s going to happen. You should always think of the Seer as saying things that apply to the long-term and not just the short term.”

The idea here for the Seer seems to be to build some stories about the character for a long time. With that in mind, we want to have some hope that there are significant long-term plans here … but it’s really too early to say for sure.
