SDCC: Vikings' Final Season Gets Shocking New Clip

The end is near for Vikings. The cast made its final Comic-Con appearance through its virtual Comic-Con@Home panel Friday, setting the stage for the final batch of episodes that will bring about the series finale. The first half of Season 6 aired earlier this year, while the second half is completed and will be seen eventually. To tease what was to come, though, a shocking clip was shown.

In the clip, Ivar (Alex Hogh) and his army are preparing for war. What he doesn't expect, though, is that his brother Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig) would be the opposition. You may remember in the finale of the first half of Season 6, Ivar seemingly killed Bjorn. However, as showrunner Michael Hirst revealed to GameSpot at the time, "He's not dead yet. Honestly, Episode 11 will just knock your socks off. It's so powerful. And it's just brilliant for Alexander and in a way that's what I wanted."

While the clip makes it obvious that Bjorn is not long for this world, he's clearly not going down without a fight.

As for what cans should expect from the final season, Hirst wouldn't reveal much. However, he did have some parting words for the fans. "I think the conclusion of the saga is deeply satisfying and a proper and meaningful ending," he said. "And I hope all of our fans will feel the same way. I tried to do justice to all of my characters and I hope I succeeded."

Of course, it would be hard to have a final Vikings panel without a true Lothbrok family reunion. Travis Fimmel, who played Ragnar on the first four seasons of the show took part in the panel, reminiscing about his time on the series and some of Ragnar's most notable scenes, including going to war against his own brother, Rollo (Clive Standen).

"For the character, even until that very moment, he was hoping that [Rollo] wouldn't fight him back. He had a glimmer of hope that his brother wouldn't betray him," Fimmel said of the scene. "And as soon as that happens, I think it devastated his world and was really the beginning of the end of his drive. I think he really regretted his life, you know? He just wanted to be back with Lagertha."

At this point, we still don't know when to expect the final episodes of Vikings to premiere on History. When they do, though, it looks like it's going to be a wild ride. You can check out the entire panel below.
