Final episodes of VIKINGS Season Six finally arrive on SBS

Created by Michael Hirst (The Tudors), the final season of epic saga Vikings will premiere with a double episode this week on SBS.

First premiering in 2013 and inspired by the tales of the Norsemen of early medieval Scandinavia, Vikings fans have been waiting over a year to find out how this iconic series concludes.

The final instalment begins as Ubbe (Jordan Patrick Smith, Lovecraft Country, Neighbours) learns the truth about Kjetill.

Meanwhile, back in Norway, the battle against the Rus has had grave consequences. Reinforcements are on the horizon, and Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig, The Hunger Games) has an idea that may yet turn the tide.

Vikings Season 6B will begin airing on SBS and SBS On Demand, premiering with a double episode at 8.30pm from Wednesday, 6 January, followed by single episodes weekly at 9.30pm.
