Michael went on to praise the production team for the show, and how he felt Vikings evolved over its nearly seven-year run. 

“Each season I set new challenges for production and they always meet them. Each season I up the ante and they always do it — whatever it is I ask them to do. A lot of what we shoot is real, it’s not CGI, and the way production manages to realize what I put on paper is transcendental. It’s incredible, it’s fantastic.”

He also teased that the finale will be “emotional.”

“So we have new worlds, new landscapes, new characters… and the scope just seems to be bigger,” he said. “As are a lot of the issues. We’re on a world stage now with the Vikings, so everything is greater and more significant. And I swear to all the fans. It is a truly, deeply, emotional experience so I look forward to people watching it.”

While the show may be on its way out, the Vikings universe is going to expand.
