UPDATED DEC 12, 2018

The upcoming episode of 'Vikings' is titled 'A New God,' and that's not the only introduction to the show. More of a reunion of sorts between two alleged brothers, the episode offers viewers a glimpse of Magnus, the alleged son of Ragnar and Queen Kwenthrith. The History Channel show portrayed Magnus' backstory - specifically his past - to be quite a sad one, with him being asked to abandon his family and flee as a young boy. Magnus could be an ally to Bjorn.

Season 5 episode 13 of 'Vikings' finally allows Magnus' (Dean Ridge) re-entry into the spheres of whatever notion of family he has left - and that is his half-brother, Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig). In an official sneak peek, Magnus can be seen approaching Bjorn by saying, "We have much in common."
