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.

What do you think? Are you glad that The Last Kingdom TV show has been renewed for a third season? How would you feel if this TV show had been cancelled instead?
Wife started watching it, talked it up, so I watched from about halfway through the first season, binge-watched the second (last episode this AM in the wee hours; it was like that book you can’t put down), and now I’m going back for a leisurely watch from episode 1.
Don’t kill Uhtred off just yet; we want to see him regain his legacy!
Best show on Netflix ! Hey Netflix do not cancel this show ! or I will cancel my script Netflix. Follow all 10 books to season 5-6 ?
Excellent point – I might very cancel my Netflix too if TLK gets cancelled…
This show could be bigger then Game of Thrones and be a signature point for Netflix quality programming. Netflix needs to have faith and stand behind their product. Destiny is all !!!
The last Kingdom is an excellent show just the right amount of drama and action and romance please keep this quality show fun Netflix snd BBC. Season 3 might want to show a little bit more skin just to make it interesting
