Vikings follows Ragnar Lothbrok, a farmer and ambitious warrior who dreams of sailing west to discover new lands. With his brother Rollo, his wife Lagertha, and the gifted boatbuilder Floki, Ragnar challenges Earl Haraldson and launches raids into England. As his power grows, the story expands to include political rivalries, religious conflict, family betrayals, and the rise of Ragnar’s sons. After Ragnar’s death, Bjorn, Ivar, Ubbe, Hvitserk, and Sigurd continue—and often struggle to surpass—the legacy he leaves behind. Netflix describes the series as following Ragnar’s exploits as he extends Norse influence while challenging an ineffective leader.netflix
