UPDATED FEB 7, 2019

Hardly 24 hours after Vikings' season 5 explosive finale aired, the History Channel released a teaser for the final installation of its flagship show with the message "coming soon." How soon is "coming soon" exactly? Given the latest clues, it looks like the premiere of season 6 will not witness the traditional one-year hiatus.

On February 5, Katheryn Winnick, who plays the leading role of shieldmaiden Lagertha, took to Instagram Stories and shared a picture of her looking over her laptop. The laptop display revealed the opening sequence of the show with the words "Directed by Katheryn Winnick" inscribed at the bottom of the screen. The Canadian actress captioned the photo "Coming soon…" and featured two hashtags; "#Director," and "#Vikings." It was the actress' debut directorial role.
