'Vikings' Season 6: Take comfort in history to know Floki is probably still alive

The TV Floki is definitely fictionalized, but Floki's long life is slightly assured because 'Vikings' have taken an almost authentic route when it comes to the characters' deaths

Out of so many burning questions we have of the 'Vikings' season 5 finale and as we look for clues in the upcoming season; fans are, in particular, worried about fan-favorite Floki (Gustaf Skarsgård) and his fate, because clearly, his Icelandic ventures did not work out for him.

The last we saw of the boat builder was in the penultimate episode of season 5 titled 'What Happens in the Cave,' which mainly focused on him and Ubbe (Jordan Patrick Smith). In stark contrast, Ubbe embraced his "true gods," which includes Thor, Odin and Freyr, after a brief stint as a Christian, while Floki, who has always embraced the true gods, found a cross inside the cave when in pursuit to find god in the land he thought was Asgard.
