Main

One of the most exciting TV series combining the blade weapon history and competition will air on the History Channel in the nearest future. Forged in Fire (Season 4) has been announced to be renewed with season premiere date pending.

Actors

Forged in Fire cast list consists of well-known smiths. They forge historical weapons, such as Japanese Katana, Viking Axe, Crusader Sword, Boar Spear, Scottish Claymore, Spiked Shield, Nepalese Kukri, etc. Three experts, authorities on weapons history, judge them, examining the appearance and functionality of forged lethal weapons. So the contenders use all their skills to present something really close to what now considered being works of art and fully operational as a weapon at the same time. The bladesmiths use high-technology metalworking equipment to create from raw materials anything from swords to hammers.

The competition consists of three rounds:

four hours to make a blade,
four hours to turn the blade into a fully functional weapon,
five days to create their own version of a historically significant bladed weapon.

One contestant leaves in each round. The judges compare the forged weapons on sets of criteria and when the third bladesmith leaves they crown the winner.

Current seasons and renewal prospects

The series shows not only the smiths work, which is really interesting to watch. Every blade weapon chosen for an episode has its unique and exciting story described down the line. The first season of Forged in Fire had over 1,5 million viewers per episode, the second and the third had a little less viewers, though still over a million. And approximately the same number is waiting for the next season premiere. The popularity of the series is explained by the theme novelty, impressive skills of the competitors and the beauty of the weapon made. That’s why the decision to renew the show seems quite logical and expectable.
