Netflix has unveiled plans for a major new documentary that delves into Travis Fimmel’s portrayal of Ragnar Lothbrok in the hit series Vikings. The film promises to unravel the factual roots behind the legendary Norse warrior, exploring both the myth and the man behind the name. Fimmel, best known for bringing Ragnar to life on History Channel’s epic series, will be joined by experts and historians who aim to separate truth from legend — from saga stories to possible real-life events that might have inspired them.

Viewers can expect never-before-seen interviews, archival material, and deep dives into Norse lore, including discussions over where Ragnar actually comes from (if he existed at all), how much of the Vikings series aligns with historical record, and the ways Fimmel’s performance reshaped modern ideas of the Viking era. The documentary seeks to both celebrate Fimmel’s impact on the role and critically examine the origins and accuracy of Ragnar Lothbrok’s legend.
