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.
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.

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?
I love The Last Kingdom. I hope its renewed for a 4th season as well.
You can’t manage to update the release date? Not very reliable, are you?
This is my favorite, better than Vikings. Please keep it going.
This is an amazingly wonderful show, one of my all-time favorites. It is very well written and the actors are extremely convincing with their characters. I am so thrilled that Netflix picked it up for a third season, which I have read will be airing later this fall. I love this series so much that I bought both season 1 & 2 on DVD so I can watch it over and over anytime I want. A ” don’t miss” series !!!!
Well done BBC – little wonder many seriously question validity of a licence fee! Produce and broadcast a decent series for two series then pull the plug – its the tripods all over gain!
This show is great!! I am so glad it is being renewed. I’m dying to know if he gets his inheritance back.
He does when he’s much older. The books are much better than the series although it’s very good. The books also have basis in fact of the authors antecedent. If you like the series as I did you should read the books or listen to them unabridged on audible. It’s well worth the subscription and you’ll learn a lot.
I am SO hoping there is a season three for “The Last Kingdom”
Please post when it might air.
More seasons please I love it, and I think Erik needs to appear again, like he survived. Thanks
