Vikings: Why Floki Didn't Die In The Cave
The final batch of episodes of Vikings season 6 answered the biggest questions fans had, including that about Floki’s fate, who was revealed to be alive – and here’s why the series’ creator decided he wouldn’t die in the cave. Created by Michael Hirst, Vikings premiered on History Channel in 2013, and even though it was originally planned to be a miniseries, it was renewed for a second season shortly after, allowing it to continue telling the stories of Ragnar, Lagertha, Floki, and more. Vikings lived on for a total of six seasons, coming to an end in December 2020. Out of everyone on the show, Vikings' Floki was a definitive fan favorite, and audiences wondered why Floki didn't die in the cave after the eruption; though they were happy he survived.
Vikings initially followed legendary Norse figure Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel), while Vikings' Floki (Gustaf Skarsgård) remained his loyal best friend. The series chronicled Ragnar's travels and raids alongside his Viking brothers. As the story progressed, the series began to shift its focus to Ragnar’s sons and their own journeys, eventually turning them into the protagonists of the show, especially after Ragnar’s death in season 4. Very few characters from the first season of Vikings, and especially those close to Ragnar, made it to the final episode, as many died at some point before it or simply stopped showing up, as was the case of Rollo (Clive Standen), Ragnar’s brother and recurrent antagonist, and only one remained as the link to the show’s origins: Floki.
