'Vikings' season 5: Behind-the-scenes picture and more

“Vikings” season 5 cast member Katheryn Winnick (Lagertha) has shared new behind-the-scenes pictures of her character covered in blood. The actress also finished directing an episode of season 6. Meanwhile, Alexander Ludwig (Bjorn Lothbrok) won the best actor award at the Canadian Screen Awards.

The war will continue when the series returns despite the fact that Ivar (Alex Høgh Andersen) has won. Lagertha and the others will be forced to abandon Kattegat and run, but they will definitely not give up.

The behind-the-scenes pictures that Winnick shared online (see below) show her costume covered in blood. There's also blood on her chin.

Is the image from one of Lagertha’s visions? Most of the major characters have been seeing visions recently, and this time, it may be the queen’s turn. Could she be losing someone close to her once again, judging by the horrifying look on her face?

Winnick also announced the completion of filming for one of the episodes for season 6 that she has directed. The director’s cut is apparently ready, and now, the producers will have to choose the final cut that will soon air.

Meanwhile, congratulations are pouring in for Ludwig. The actor has won the best actor award at the Canadian Screen Award for his performance as Bjorn in “Vikings.” He will be reprising his role in season 6.

Ten more episodes remain in “Vikings” season 5. The mid-season premiere will air sometime later this year, and the producers are yet to announce an exact release date. Meanwhile, filming for season 6 continues. As far as the plot is concerned, Rollo (Clive Standen) will be back after viewers saw relatively less of the character this year.
