'Vikings' Season 6: What's next for our favorite seafaring warriors as the saga wraps up

Alexander Ludwig has made a blockbuster entry into Hollywood, Katheryn Winnick has directed two series and Gustaf Skarsgard will feature in a horrifying tale of two journalists

The beloved 'Vikings' will come to an end after season 6, which will likely premiere at the end of this year. Ready or not to say goodbye, fans can at least look forward to the finale, and even re-binge on the entire saga of Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel) and his sons. However, the 'Vikings' stars have to move on, even if we are caught in the 'Vikings' fever, which to be honest, we may never get over. 

While we may not see Katheryn Winnick as shieldmaiden Lagertha again and Alexander Ludwig as the Casanova Bjorn Ironside, we will see them in various other avatars and we are so ready for it. After filming for the last installment wrapped up at the end of last year and Winnick got her directorial debut, the stars have moved on to newer shores. Here's what they are up to next.
