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.

It must be renewed. How else will we know whether Uhtred re-gains Bebbasnburfg. And besides it is the best series on TV. Gams e of Thrones runningba close second.
Keep it going! Makes history into drama. Have been looking into the actual story of Alfred the great, and I’m impressed there is a kernel of actual events in this series.
was glued to it for 3 weeks way better than thrones. The actors were real, again loved it keep it coming.
I LOVE this series. I hope they will do a few more seasons
Ya if this show ends I am done with TV so tired of good **** like this getting cancelled while every crime drama remake gets 12 ******* seasons!
This series must not be cancelled it is thrilling to watch and greatly anticipated. Simply brilliant !!
Just binge watched the first season and thought “Why hasn’t this show won an Emmy?” Excellent writing, excellent acting and the locations and sets are amazing! A true winner and relief that the Game of Thrones is not the only top show in town! Give us season 3 and 4 and 5 and so on!
