History channel might cancel show after 'Vikings' Season 5

Alex Høgh Andersen's movie titled "Koldt på toppen," or "Cold on the Top" if translated into the English language, has given a very juicy hint about the future of the "Vikings" Season 5. In the said film, co-star Marco Ilsø has told the 23-year-old actor that the popular History series would face cancellation after the fifth season.

After learning the sad news about the show's possible cancellation, Alex Høgh Andersen has started doubting himself and getting frustrated about his career. The "Vikings" Season 5 star was later forced to stand up for himself as he faces more dilemmas.

"Alex's character is a parody of the attention-seeking, self-centered person that many people stereotype young actors to be," director Christoffer Dibbern has stated to the University Post. "But no, the character was never a parody of the real Alex," the young filmmaker added on.

The film's plotline has become trending among fans of the much-awaited series that it sparked speculations that the series would be revoked after "Vikings" Season 5. However, History Channel has not yet released any confirmation about these reports.
