History Channel’s hit drama series Vikings will return in November, as announced from the recent event San Diego Comic-Con International. An exclusive trailer from the mid-season five premiere was unveiled to nearly 5,000 fans during the Vikings cast panel held at Comic-Con.
Vikings premiered as the #1 series in its timeslot in Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines.
The third season of the drama series premieres on 27 February with two back-to-back episodes.
The second season, currently in its fourth episode, is enjoying strong ratings in the U.S.
Other programming slate highlights include the second season of “Vikings”, the third season of “Teen Wolf” and MGM’s Orion Television’s “Paternity Court with Lauren Lake”.
“Vikings”, a nine-part drama series airing on HISTORY Asia on September 29, 2013, casts a different light on the lives of the Vikings and their society. Show creator Michael Hirst shares about his inspiration for the show.
Highlights include an upcoming series starring Adrien Brody as “Houdini” and an all-star cast for a TV version of “Bonnie & Clyde”, to be simulcast on all three networks.
Hoogstra will continue to oversee the networks’ programming teams, and manage the development, creation and execution of all programming for HISTORY and H2.
The series is an international co-production between World 2000 and Take 5 Productions. HISTORY will air it domestically while MGM will serve as international distributor.
