The Reason Travis Fimmel Left Vikings After Season 4
Travis Fimmel’s Ragnar Lothbrok was one of the reasons the historical drama Vikings became such a success. Fimmel brought the legendary Viking hero and warrior to life and added humor, ferociousness, and passion to create one of the show’s most popular characters.
Fimmel embodied the fearless warrior for four seasons, taking him from humble beginnings as a farmer to being a conquering warrior king. All good things come to an end however, and after four seasons, Fimmel decided to leave Vikings.
He was missed, but could the hit series have prolonged Fimmel’s stay? Here’s the real reason Travis Fimmel left Vikings after four seasons.

He mentioned in an interview, his character was originally scripted to die in season one – and cracked a joke about it, his extended contract after the bait and switch lol. But this video just mentioned that half way through. 🎉☝🏽😅

OMG!!!! Seriously, he played Steve McQueen in a movie. I need to get with it. I've been comparing him to Steve since I saw the first scene of Vikings. Travis doesn't even have to have lines, to draw your focus to him, just like Steve did. That's hilarious, I guess I should watch that movie. lol

I was so pissed off when they killed him off. HE WAS THE SHOW! I'm like why would you kill off the main character. I can understand the series had to go forward but I was bummed.

I spoiled it for myself researching Ragnar Lothbrok. I knew it was coming when he was in the cage talking to King Ecbert 😢

The Lothbrok character was not based in history. Killing off Ragnar was an epic mistake by the show's creators. Ratings plummeted.

Without Rick Grimes, I lost my passion for TWD.
Without Ragnar, I lost my passion for Vikings.
I guess I should be grateful that Tony Soprano existed right up until the very last second of his show.

Travis played this character with good complexity not just anger and lust.

Ivar the boneless actor carried the show on his shoulders after Ragnar died.
It’s not the same but it’s very good.

How anyone can ignore Bjorn’s final scene.

I’ve never been more satisfied with a main character dying. He went out in an epic way , the Ragnar lothbrok way 😅 🖤

I understand his death was necessary, but the show wasn't the same after his departure…

Season 4 Ragnar was pretty much Johnny Depp playing Hunter S Thompson in Fear and Loathing haha I kept expecting him to say "We're in bat country!"
