Vikings Alum Travis Fimmel to Star in TNT Sci-Fi Drama Raised by Wolves
A Vikings veteran is charting his next voyage: Travis Fimmel has signed on to star in TNT‘s upcoming sci-fi drama Raised by Wolves, our sister site Deadline is reporting.
Fimmel will play an android named Father who, along with a female android named Mother, is charged with raising human children on a new planet. “As the burgeoning colony of humans threatens to be torn apart by religious differences, the androids learn that controlling the beliefs of humans is a treacherous and difficult task,” per the official description.
Oscar nominee Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner) will do his first TV directing in fifty years, helming the first two episodes of Raised by Wolves, and he’ll serve as an executive producer as well. Screenwriter Aaron Guzikowski (Prisoners) will serve as showrunner. Wolves earned a straight-to-series order from TNT back in October.
Fimmel is best known for playing Nordic warrior Ragnar Lothbrok during the first four seasons of History’s Vikings; the actor left the historical drama at the end of Season 4, after Ragnar was killed off. History announced earlier this month that Vikings will end after its upcoming sixth season — but the saga will continue with a follow-up series, currently in development at the network.
Fun…
13 year old me really found this guy attractive with his modeling pics.
29 year old me finds him attracted. Yum.
I’ll watch. Sounds interesting.
I don’t have a lot to say to this except…
So. Hot.
Considering how many shows he produces through Scott Free, I’m kind of shocked this is the first time that Ridley Scott has officially stepped behind the camera for one of them
Still think they should change the name due to the recent comedy of the same name. And there’s been an American remake in development.
He has really turned out to be a great actor. From the Beast with Pactrick Swayze to a magnificent character of Ragnar. This guy is too good to sit still for long. Cant wait until it is on .
Hasn’t he also signed up for a series on History?
I feel like I read an article about this on TVLine
Yes he was or is cast in a Wyatt Earp serie on history if i’m correct and before that was rumored or cast as one of the leads in the Sons of Anarchy prequel
Oh yeah that’s right. Thank you!
The title really bugs me because I watched the comedy of the same name. Just like New Amsterdam…I wish they could find original titles for shows….
Dumb title, but I will give it shot.
Hello
I want to be say Thank you again about Vikings and Of Sir : Teravis Fimmel🤘🏻🦋🦋🦋
