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.

Awesome series just watched them twice over.read all the books so am hoping they keep the series up.
Absolutely love this saga. The Utred character in the TV series is even more compelling than in the books by Bernard Cornwell. I hope Netflix and BBC realize what a gem this is and shoot a third, fourth, etc. season!
Why would they choose to cancel such an amazingly fantastic series? Please do not cancel and renew for many more seasons to come. This series has it all!!
