Get your pillage on — “Vikings” has been renewed for a third season on History.
The scripted drama will resume production on 10 new episodes this summer, to premiere on the network in 2015.
Currently in its second season, “Vikings” is averaging 3.4 million viewers, growing to 5.1 million total viewers with seven days of DVR viewing factored in.
The drama — which was History’s first scripted series — centers on Ragnar (Travis Fimmel), a restless young warrior and family man who longs to find and conquer new lands across the sea and claim the spoils as his own.
“Vikings” is created and written by Michael Hirst (“The Tudors”), who serves as executive producer with Morgan O’Sullivan, John Weber, Sherry Marsh, Alan Gasmer, James Flynn and Sheila Hockin.
