Eric Johnson will be joining the battle in Vikings Season 6. Johnson is known for his characters in Fifty Shades Darker and The Knick. Deadline has reported that Johnson will pursue the role of Erik. Erik is a fearful warrior who is an outlaw living on his banter and martial skills. Watching Johnson portraying such an intimidating character will be fascinating. The finale of Season 5 is going to premiere on 30th January 2019. So, we can safely presume that there will be a long wait before we can see Johnson in action.

Shooting Has Completed For Vikings Season 6
Filming for Season 6 of Vikings is over. The filming of the series began well before the premiere of the second half of the show.

Being the last season of the show, the responsibility of leading it to a conclusion will be the prior job.
The Fate Of Queen Lagertha In Season 6
The second part of Vikings Season 5 saw a dramatic change in the character of Queen Lagertha. Firstly, she got disappeared from the show. Later, when she came back, she had a very strange look, having aged dramatically.
