Success can sometimes be a source of frustration for the studios, as it shows that they have ever helped carry the brand banner can suddenly be replaced by lighter faces of Marquial. For Netflix, the release of new programs comes in waves every week, and it makes it difficult for the long -term favorite sides to continue sailing forward despite so many changes. The Vikings was a program that became a favorite in the history of the channel in 2013, when The prospect of a series of real budget show It was still in fashion of medium -sized cable networks. According to the interview in Diversity With the creator of the series Michael Hirst, the show did not end due to the reduction rating, but because he ended the story he set to tell.

The Vikings loved the people who discovered history at the beginning, and it continued for many of the network show. Basically, there was simply not much stories that made this kind of easy historical EP on TV at the time, with these stories are usually reserved for the big screen. But the audience continued to find Ragar Lotbrock (Travis Fimmel) and company wherever they were. It didn't take long for the "Vikings" to become a hit of the mouth, like The first episode spotted north of 6 million viewers For the girl travel. With that kind of purchase, and viewers are still in the golden age of TV, it is easy to see how the "Vikings" greatly set the way to four seasons on the history channel without a problem.

As we now know, a revolution has emerged on the horizon, and the "Vikings" could not get rid of that disaster. In short, watching habits have changed throughout the play, as people have begun to find the series through other roads. Now, it may not seem like a big obstacle to a series that was the standard holder of the history channel, but it's an expertise that the directors in control simply didn't have at the time. Fortunately, the show ended up on its own conditions.

The context is crucial when discussing the fun business over the last decade, and the Vikings is an interesting test case for streaming in our media environment. Many different angles had money to drive the success of the scripted series of the historic channel back in 2013, as both the network and its parent company, A & Global Media (and subsequent Disney, after buying 50% of the shares), are massive priorities for the conglomerate. The Vikings were #1 scripted series in the history of the network. So, even when the show started dragging into regular cable numbers for the 18-24-year-old demographic, they wanted to make the creator of the series Michael Hirst.

Hirst had earlier told Variety that he had always planned for six seasons, no matter what happened on the road to that finish. And fortunately for him and his team, they arrived on those shores unsaturated. But there are still people wondering if a bit of a declining viewership can have to do with how the Vikings ended. Hirst wants to put these claims in bed and argued this fact during the 2019 interview. As he explained:

"What I was trying to do was write the saga of Ragnar Lotbrock and his sons. After six seasons and 89 episodes, that's what I felt - finally - I would do it," Shower explained. "We stopped filming the last episode in November last year and felt that I said everything I have to say about Ragnar and his sons. I said to the saga and I was lucky enough to give me that opportunity MGM and history. I had no reason to want to continue it out of it. "

So, the long -lasting cable favorite sailed at the sunset, or at least that was what they would believe based on how these stories went. But in the modern era of streaming TV shows, it is rarely so simple. Almost as soon as the end of the Vikings is announced, Netflix has used the Vikings: Valhala successor series. As a result of various streaming deals over time, many fans never knew that the original show was really broadcast on the history channel and received all their exposure to the streaming series. So it's not a big deal to follow this new version of a series of different streams, or platforms, in the face of the approaching Vikings show.

There are three seasons of Vikings: Valhala to take a walk through Netflix, and that's Exciting news for anyone who longs more than this world. It is reasonable to think that this type of related series is unlikely to happen without climbing a streaming TV. The historic channel was probably no longer interested in an expensive script series, and Netflix had a notion that they could easily continue for several seasons to support that investment. This is the current TV climate and it is a little dark to deal with, as those numbers feel almost crucial to the survival of each show. But be sure, the original "Vikings" ran just because Hirst decided to hang her fight, and the show ended better than the Vikings funeral that other programs often withstand.
