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?
Really love this show and can’t wait for season 3. So interesting that’s it’s based on actual history. All the acting in it is fantastic too and I love the amount of detail in all the costumes, sets and make-up. Please renew and make season 3!
I love the books, have watched all the series so far and am waiting anxiously for the third.
I’ve read all the books I now want to see series 3
I really hope that Netflix will renew The Last Kingdom for a 3rd season. It is the smartest series I’ve seen on TV in many years. The writing is superb & the cast is phenomenal as well. Alexander Dreymon himself has expressed great interest in returning for more seasons. It would not be smart to cancel this show now when Uhtred has so much more to do! Please Netflix…I beg you to keep us entertained. After all that is your job….is it not?
Sincerely,
Kelli Couch

I love the series! Please renew for a season 3. There is so much yet to do and see!
I have watched this show twice with my husband. Best show ever! Have told many people to watch. Can’t wait for season 3. Husband bought all the books.
Please renew season 3!
My Boyfriend and I just found this show and we finished both seasons in two days. We need Season 3.
I am watching both seasons a third time now. It is so addictive and high quality. Best show I have ever seen, especially on Netflix. I am already having withdrawals. Netflix should definitely continue the seasons to the end of the 10 books written on these characters. All the way. My husband and I are both hooked, as well as all our friends.
Well said Katrina! I’m with you girl! Go Team Uhtred!
Awesome show, way better than Game of Thrones (fantasy). The Last Kingdom is more realistic. It has it all. Humor, paganism, early christian era, great battles, love and hate. Looks truly authentic. You will fall in love with the characters. Please, do have a season 3 and more. It is too good to let go. There are very few good shows like this to watch anymore.
love this show better then game of thrones..
