Set in a brutal, mysterious and dangerous world of warriors, gods and ambition, this first season follows Ragnar Lothbrok, a Viking farmer and fighter who refuses to accept the limits imposed by tradition. While others look east for poor and familiar lands, Ragnar dreams of sailing west across the ocean, convinced that richer kingdoms lie beyond the horizon. His hunger for discovery, glory and freedom puts him on a collision course with the old powers of his society, turning one man’s vision into the beginning of a legend that could change the Viking world forever. In the first two episodes, Ragnar begins his son Bjorn’s passage into manhood while secretly preparing for a far greater initiation of his own: a forbidden voyage into the unknown. With the help of Floki’s new ship and a small crew willing to risk death, disgrace and the wrath of Earl Haraldson, he chooses to break the law rather than bury his dream. As family loyalty, political fear and ancient belief collide in Kattegat, the stage is set for the first journey west, where the promise of treasure is matched only by the danger of challenging everything his people think they know.
