Ragnar’s Return Shocks Fans: Travis Fimmel, Gustaf Skarsgård, and George Blagden Face Odin’s Wrath in Netflix’s ‘The Raven’s Oath’ This Fall
In a twist that has taken the Norse fandom by storm, Netflix has confirmed the return of Travis Fimmel as Ragnar Lothbrok in the upcoming historical-fantasy series *The Raven’s Oath*, set to premiere this fall. Dubbed a spiritual successor to *Vikings*, the new series dives deep into the mythic aftermath of Ragnar’s death — but this time, the gods are watching closely.
Fimmel’s resurrection as the legendary Viking king has ignited excitement and speculation. Far from a simple return, Ragnar is brought back to Midgard under dire circumstances. The Allfather himself, Odin, has grown restless with the mortals who once dared defy fate. Alongside Ragnar, familiar faces return: Gustaf Skarsgård reprises his role as the brilliant and tormented Floki, while George Blagden returns as the ever-conflicted Athelstan, whose spiritual journey takes a dark and divine turn.
*The Raven’s Oath* blends brutal Viking realism with high-stakes mythological fantasy. According to insiders, the trio must face trials set forth by Odin himself, navigating visions, betrayals, and a world on the brink of divine reckoning. With haunting imagery, poetic brutality, and a thunderous score, the series promises to be a bold reimagining of Norse sagas — not a sequel, but a reckoning.
Showrunner S.J. Clarkson has teased that *The Raven’s Oath* is “not about history repeating — it’s about the gods finally intervening.” As ancient oaths are broken and new allegiances forged, one thing is clear: Ragnar’s return is no mercy. It’s a warning.
Prepare for blood, destiny, and the wrath of the gods this fall.
