What’s This TV Show About?
Streaming on the Netflix paid subscription platform, The Last Kingdom stars Alexander Dreymon, David Dawson, Emily Cox, Ian Hart, Tobias Santelmann, Thure Lindhardt, Millie Brady, Alexandre Willaume, Julia Bache-Wiig, Joseph Millson, and Peter McDonald. 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, even as he returns to Bebbanburg to claim his birthright.
The Last Kingdom has been renewed for a third season which will debut TBD. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Unless Netflix decides to release streaming “ratings” it is always difficult to gauge the success of streaming TV shows, like The Last Kingdom. So, let’s look at what we do know. Netflix became a co-producer after the first season ran on BBC Two in UK and BBC America in the US. And in the US, the second season will have its first run on Netflix, leaving BBC America out of the picture. They must have some faith in the project. Provided the show continues to do well in both the UK and in the international markets that get the series via Netflix, I suspect The Last Kingdom will be renewed for season three.

9/26/17 update: Though a season three renewal hasn’t been announced, there have been reports of season three casting and filming.

**** YES RENEW IT YE ********!
I don’t understand why a series like The Last Kingdom which is loved so well in the US would be cancelled its the only reason most of us have Netflix.
Waiting for season 3. Great Show!
Love this show . watched two seasons in three days. need to see if Uhtred regains his birthright.
I don’t understand have a great TV series gets canceled. Who decide the fate of the shows? Because it’s not the audience. The Last Kingdom is fantastic and the second season was killer. Sense8 was another great show! Everyone I’ve spoken to love these two series. Bring them both back!
Love this show. Can’t wait for more!
Please continue this series! I really love the story and the characters!
Season 3 & beyond! BRRING EM ON!!!
Just finished season 2…please, please let there be season 3!
