'Vikings' season 6: Release date, plot, cast, trailer, news and everything else about the History Channel hit show's final season

Season 6 of the 'Vikings' saga will be the last and here's everything you need to know about the tale of Ragnar and his sons

The story of Ragnar and his sons will be done and dusted by the end of season 6 of 'Vikings', and whatever the outcome may be, the beloved series will come to an end as well.

The renewal for the final installment came even before the premiere of season 5 last year, and the trailer for the show came out hours after season five's finale. With the show's momentum, it is believed season 6 will be out sooner than expected, and all signs hint that it is possible — cue, a recent Instagram Story from Katheryn Winnick, who plays the leading role of shieldmaiden Lagertha, and has had a directorial debut with season 6, snapped a picture of 'Vikings' intro with her name under the directorial credit.

The showrunners have kept all the news under wraps, but here is everything we know so far about the groundbreaking series and its final season.
