The latter half of "Vikings" season 4 will begin with Ragnar Lothbrok's (Travis Fimmel) return to Kattegat and its deadly effects on the city. Thanks to a new listing, there's fresh information on what the midseason premiere entails.

"Vikings" season 4 will be back with episode 11 titled "The Outsider," where Ragnar will learn that things in Kattegat are far different from the way he left them.

The episode description from Spoiler TV suggests that Ragnar returns with the intention to redeem himself only to be shooed away by basically everyone. The listing reads: "Ragnar has returned to Kattegat and there are secrets to be revealed. He makes plans to return to Wessex to right past wrongs but finds that those who were once his closest allies now have plans of their own. Even the Lothbrok sons refuse to join their father's mission—except one."

Based on the promotional teasers, trailers, and images, it is safe to say that the only one who will welcome Ragnar with open arms in "Vikings" season 4 will be Ivar the Boneless (Alex Hoegh-Andersen).

Ragnar will build him up as his successor to the throne, and make his son, who is crippled, much more feared and ruthless than he ever was.

Behind-the-scenes photos of "Vikings" season 4 show a bloody Ivar. Part of his journey to the crown is to fight a good fight, and it looks like madness will take over the promising Lothbrok son.

Speaking of Ivar's evolution, show creator Michael Hirst told TV Guide that while Ragnar's sons have a little bit of the ruler in them, "the most striking of them is Ivar."

"We know the only thing the historical Ragnar was really afraid of is that his sons would become more famous than he was. Ivar the Boneless is probably the most famous of all Vikings. He's a cripple, and yet he becomes this dominant, extraordinary alpha-male," he went on to say.

"Vikings" season 4 returns Wednesday, Nov. 3 at 9 p.m. ET on History Channel.
