It’s a difficult task to pillage and to plunder one’s way through the Dark Ages, and Vikings places the historical action drama right in the middle of it. Voted for its accurate depiction of Viking society (with some exceptions), Vikings has earned a reputation as being violent and intriguing. This is to be expected from a narrative that focuses on family squabbles and violence. During the fifth century, a period of great upheaval and political uncertainty in Western Europe known as the Late Roman Empire (A.D. 476-1453), ambitious men and women fought for dominance, power, wealth, and sex with each other. Betrayal, bloodshed, love affairs, secret deals, daring invasions are all commonplace. The series doesn’t hold back when it comes to violence or betrayal. Even those within tightly-knit families are corrupted by the desire for influence and power.
At the very least, Vikings is jam-packed with stunning actors in period costumes. Although it doesn’t go as overboard with depictions of the flesh as Game of Thrones or Spartacus, one may make a strong case that the actors in Vikings are some of TV’s finest-looking people. It’s also a commitment to shoot such a show. Most of Vikings are shot outside and on location in County Wicklow, Ireland. The show’s creators, cast, and crew brave the elements daily to create it, which pays off when the narrative is pieced together. The main cast has unquestionably bonded through the process of working long and hard hours together as the show enters its sixth season. Fortunately, we’re going to look at a few behind-the-scenes photos that provide a different perspective on the show’s daily life.

Cracking Up
In inclement weather, hand-to-hand combat is hazardous. When actors are on a break between takes, it’s not as formidable. Actor Peter Franzen grins brilliantly in this shot as some of the cast and crew converse together behind him. Shooting hours in rural Ireland are lengthy and demanding, therefore relieving steam is important.
In the original Norse mythology, Harald Finehair was a Scandinavian warlord opposed to Ragnar. In the end, Harald Finehair outlives Ragnar. He was last seen fleeing an assault just in time, and he subsequently took control of York by force. It appears that his persona will continue to flourish in season six.
