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.

I have to say my husband and I enjoy this show very much. It gives us history, is tastefully done, and the actorrs portray their characters so realistically. We have told many friends and they look forward to watching it. There must be a 3rd season!
Loving this show hopefully there’s a season 3
Please renew 3rd season! Love this show! It has great potential!
pleeeaase,renew!!!!!!
I am have spent the afternoon/evening watching this show from the first episode. I am hooked on this. History is my Passion and anything that is like this I’m instantly in love, not all shows do well but this I’d watch over and over again.
I cast my vote for a season three…loving this show!
One of the great shows of the 21st century. Season 2 was even better than season 1 The cast is terrific the story seems real and the photography is excellent. Right up there with the Movie Bravehart and Gladiator. Awesome show
Pleas Rene new for season three on Netflix

My husband and I love this series! I turn my head often, but love it!
I really love this show they need to renew this
Absolutely fantastic … best show I’ve seen in a long time! Season 3 has to happen…all the characters are great to follow!
I find this to be a great series, it would be a shame to take us this far and then just cancel the rest. I truly hope Netflix continues with the series to the very end.
