What’s This TV Show About?
A BBC and Netflix historical drama, The Last Kingdom stars Alexander Dreymon, David Dawson, Emily Cox, Tobias Santelmann, Harry McEntire, Joseph Millson, Björn Bengtsson, and Ian Hart. An adaptation of Bernard Cornwell’s novel series, The Saxon Stories, the historical drama follows Uhtred of Bebbanburg (Dreymon), the son of a 9th Century Saxon nobleman. After killing his father, Danish invaders kidnap the boy and he is raised by their warlord, Ragnar. Years later, when Ragnar is killed, Uhtred vows to avenge him and reclaim his birthright. In season three, both King Alfred’s (Dawson) health and his dreams of a united England are fading. Meanwhile, Uhtred must take command and confront a new threat — Danish warlord Sigrid (Bengtsson).
The Last Kingdom has been renewed for a fourth season which will debut April 26, 2020. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will BBC and Netflix cancel or renew The Last Kingdom for season four? It’s tough to say, because we only have access to Netflix TV show “ratings,” if they decide to release them. Since this series is a co-production between the UK and US companies, that further complicates things. For now, I’ll keep an eye on the trades and update this page with breaking developments.
