After the History Channel stopped producing real history documentaries and started focussing on pseudo-scientific studies (UFOs and such) as well as pseudo documentaries (Pawn Stars) which they are very successful with by the way, they also tried out actual TV shows. The drama series Vikings is one of them. In March 2016, season 5 was green-lit.

With season, the number of each has risen. While previous seasons had 10 episodes resp. season 1 had only 9 episodes, season 4 consists of 20 episodes. But the season had been split up: The episodes 1-10 aired from Febraury 2016 till April 2016 and the final 10 episodes aired from November 2016 till Febraury 2017. Similar to the previous seasons, season 4 was censored in the US.

Extended Scene

From this point on, there are numerous alterations with a length of less than 1 second each - some of them are only a few frames longer. To be more specific, the shots are insignificantly longer but both dialog and actual plot remain unchanged. Listing all those tiny differences would be preposterous and probably a little confusing for the readership. For that, they have been considered a single difference here (no screenshots).
