Ragnar actor Fimmel has previously said he felt ready to leave the series after season four, and it had been an easy decision.
He had told Collider at the time: I’m not one of those actors that live and breathe the character, and take it home. It was such a great experience.
The show s creator, Michael Hirst, had known all along Ragnar was going to die and his sons were going to take over his legacy.
Similarly, Lagertha s role in the series was coming to an end at the time of her death.
While there is no reason why their early story could be told in a prequel, there is no guarantee the actors would want to reprise their roles.
Hirst said that for a while he did not know when exactly Heahmund was going to die.
He knew there would be a huge battle at the end of season five and someone significant would die, but he did not know who.
Heahmund became the subject after it was decided his character could not have gone on any further afterwards.
Some fans hit out after his death, saying they were expecting bigger things from the character.
One said on Reddit: I was hoping to see much more of him and redeem his character and make him a thorn in Ivar s side, but instead the writer s decided to do away with him entirely and not meet his full potential as a character. It s a damn shame.
