Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te whakaaturanga pouaka whakaata tēnei kua riro i te motu, nā te nui o ngā whakaaturanga whawhai me ngā kōrero hītori, nā ōna kaiwhakaari rangatira, tae atu ki te tauira o mua o Calvin Klein, a Travis Fimmel. Engari i te wā e whakamataku ana ngā kaimātakitaki ki ngā whetū o te History Channel, e mau ana i te whakangungu, e mea ana te tauira-i huri hei kaiwhakaari o Ahitereiria, kāore ia i te whakaaro ko te whakaongaonga o te whakaaturanga te mea nui ki tōna angitu. Ko te kaiwhakaari i te mea ka whakawhiwhia e ia te raupapa TV ki te whai i nga tuhinga kounga pai, nga raina korero me nga tohu aroha. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. E whakaae ana a Travis o Ahitereiria i mua i tana kiriata i nga Vikings he iti noa tana mohio mo te hitori pono, engari na te 'korero' me nga tuhinga taipitopito i tuhia e Michael Hirst, kua nui ake tana ako mo te hitori o Europi. I rongonui a Travis i te tau 2002 hei kanohi o te kākahu kākahu kāne rongonui a Calvin Klein. Ko ana panui panui i kiia he mea nui ki nga waka waka i Amerika, i te mea ko te 23-tau te pakeke i taua wa ko ia te tauira tane tuatahi i hainatia motuhake e Calvin Klein mo te tau katoa, ka whiwhi i a ia i te moni e ono-mati. I a ia e kōrero ana ki MailOnline, ko Travis, i rongonui ai hei kanohi o te kākahu kākahu kāne a Calvin Klein i te tau 2002, i mea ko te wāhanga whakamātautau me ngā tuhinga hītori tika te mea tuatahi i whakaoho i tōna hiahia ki ngā Vikings. Ka mea ia: 'He tangata tino pūmanawa a Michael Hirst, ā, e hiahia ana ahau ki te mahi tahi me ia. 'Kāore au i te mōhio nui ki a ia, i mōhio nui au ki ētahi atu i tūkinotia, i pahuatia hoki e ngā Vikings, engari ko te tuhituhi a Michael, kāore e taea e koe te āwhina engari ka ako mai i a ia.' Heoi anō, i whakaae te whetū, kāore i te nui tonu te meka hītori hei hopu i te aro o te hunga whakarongo o nāianei. Kua riro i a Travis Fimmel, tauira o mua o Ahitereiria, ngā kaimātakitaki hei kaiārahi Viking rongonui, ko Ragnar Lothbrok, te whetū o te raupapa whakaari hītori o te History channel, ko Vikings, kei te toru o ngā raupapa.

Ko te tauira a Travis Fimmel e whetū ana i te raupapa History Channel Vikings. E kī ana te tauira kākahu o mua, kāore ia i te whakaaro ki tōna āhua i runga i te mata. Ko te mea hou hei tuku i nga uaua ki te whakataetae i roto i nga whakaari kakahu porangi. Ko Game of Thrones, ko Outlander me Poldark ngā whetū katoa o ngā kaiwhaiwhai ngakau.
