The time jump at the end of the first part of Season 4 was about 10 years. How long have they been together when we return for the new episodes? Their relationship has been more than six or seven years. Astrid is considerably different and brings a breath of fresh air to Lagertha’s life. Josefin has a lot of humor and wit and that’s evident in [the way she plays] her character. Her sense of style and…the way she deals with Lagertha is unique, and that was really a lot of fun to play [opposite Josefin]. I think you’re going to like that relationship. Lagertha definitely grooms her to be the warrior that she is. It was nice to see that it’s not, ‘Oh, here are two women who are in bed together.’ Their strong bond is not necessarily the sexual part of a relationship, but more of an emotional bond. It’s really beautiful to see.
