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.

Please please do renew season 3 of Last Kingdom.. It’s such an awesome series..I would love to see it continue past a third season..
Would love to see a season 3!
I can’t speak to the historical accuracy of all that takes place but the storylines intersect with so many other historical dramas that I believe this is about as close as we’ll ever get to what those times were like. Please pick this show up for a third season and I’ll never bother you again. Till it ends.
This show is spectacular in so many facets. The mixture of actors and the relationship and interaction of all the characters’ roles let the watcher be fully immersed in how the world was during an important part of history for the entire world to know. Along with the perfect casting that meshes so well and engages the watcher to go from one episode to another without wanting to ever stop until you find yourself standing on a cliff looking down at at raging sea needing to know what happens next, wanting more and the beautiful landscapes all around you that… Read more »

Omg!!! There has to be a season III!
This is a great series. I am hoping for season 3 and 4! It has enough history to be believable and enough fiction to be entertaining!
I think this series is the best of Netflix. I am hoping for season 3. It has enough non fiction to remain believable and enough fiction to keep you interested.
Yes, renew this series. I am so enamored with the series that I have watched series 1 and 2 many times. Anxiously waiting for series 3 to come out.
I love history and this series makes you feel as if you were there. Not to mention I have traced my family by DNA back to the Picts.
Definately, please renew. The production is fantastic.
