Here's your first look at Vikings the fictional historical drama about the legendary Norsemen of medieval times which South African viewers could see in 2013 on History (DStv 264) and which tells the tale of two brothers and their families in nine 60 minute episodes.
Vikings is produced by MGM Television for the History channel in America where it will start in 2013. That makes the likelihood big that Vikings will also be shown on History in South Africa which is a channel feed from Britain.
Vikings could also go to another broadcaster in South Africa, since MGM is the distributor of Vikings outside of Ireland and Canada.
Vikings was filmed in Northern Ireland and other locations in Northern Europe similar to where the first seasons of the fantasy shows Camelot and Game of Thrones were filmed last year.
It's a fictitious historical family drama, chronicling the exploits of historical figure Ragnar Lothbrok and his band of Viking brothers as Lothbrok rises to become king of the Viking tribes.
