The Last Kingdom TV show on BBC AmericaAs previously announced, BBC America’s new historical series, The Last Kingdom, will debut on Saturday, October 10th, at 10pm. There are eight episodes.

Here are additional details and a preview:

“THE LAST KINGDOM” PREMIERES OCTOBER 10 ON BBC AMERICA

England is born in a new drama from the Emmy(R) Award and Golden Globe(R)-winning producers of Downton Abbey

New York – August 17, 2015 – BBC AMERICA’s new original series, The Last Kingdom, is a contemporary story of redemption, vengeance and self-discovery set against the birth of England. The eight part drama series follows young warrior and outsider, Uhtred (Alexander Dreymon), on a fierce mission to reclaim his birthright. The Last Kingdom, from Emmy(R)-winning executive producers of Downton Abbey, Gareth Neame and Nigel Marchant, is a Carnival Films co-production with BBC AMERICA for BBC Two and BBC AMERICA. The Last Kingdom premieres Saturday, October 10, 10:00pm ET on BBC AMERICA.

Eleven-year-old Uhtred was born a Saxon in 9th century Northumbria. He watches from a cliff top as invading Danish ships move toward his home, not knowing that his future will soon be turned upside-down. Young Uhtred witnesses his father killed and the Saxon army defeated. That same day he is taken by the Danish warlord, Earl Ragnar. His fellow captive is a feisty, sharp-tongued girl named Brida. The orphans are brought up in the Danish camp.

Fast forward and the two have formed a close personal bond as kindred spirits and lovers. Uhtred is now a valiant young man and warrior. But it isn’t long before he’s forced to endure yet another painful and disorienting twist of fate when a group of Danes deliberately set his home ablaze in a vengeful, personal attack – murdering his surrogate family (including Ragnar, who Uhtred saw as his true father). A bloody feud between rival Danes ensues. Caught in the middle, Uhtred finds himself exiled – neither Saxon nor Dane – alone in the world with only his fellow outcast, Brida (Emily Cox). Meanwhile, his inheritance and lands in Northumbria are taken by his scheming uncle, Aelfric. Enraged, Uhtred swears to avenge Ragnar and to reclaim his homeland. But his loyalties are ever tested as circumstances force him to choose between the country of his birth and the people of his upbringing. Uhtred must tread a dangerous path between both sides if he is to play his part in the birth of a new nation and, ultimately, recapture his ancestral lands.

Alexander Dreymon (American Horror Story) heads up the international cast from eleven different countries. Emily Cox (The Silent Mountain) stars as Brida, David Dawson (Peaky Blinders) as King Alfred, Rune Temte (Eddie the Eagle) as Ubba, Matthew Macfadyen (Ripper Street) as Lord Uhtred, Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner) as Ravn, Ian Hart (Boardwalk Empire) as Beocca, Tobias Santelmann (Point Break) as Ragnar the Younger, Peter Gantzler (Italian For Beginners) as Earl Ragnar, Adrian Bower (Mount Pleasant) as Leofric, Joseph Millson (Penny Dreadful) as Aelfric and Henning Valin Jakobsen (The Bridge) as Storri.

Adapted from Bernard Cornwell’s best-selling series of books “The Saxon Stories,” by BAFTA nominated and RTS award-winning writer Stephen Butchard, The Last Kingdom combines real historical figures and events with fiction, re-telling the history of King Alfred the Great and his desire to unite the many separate kingdoms into what would become England.

Gareth Neame, Nigel Marchant and Stephen Butchard are executive producers, with David O’Donoghue co-executive producing, and Nick Murphy co-executive producing and directing multiple episodes. Chrissy Skinns is producer. The Last Kingdom is a Carnival Films co-production with BBC AMERICA for BBC Two and BBC AMERICA. Carnival Films is part of NBCUniversal International Studios. The Last Kingdom will be distributed internationally by NBCUniversal International Distribution. The series was filmed in Hungary and the UK.

I loved this series! It was exciting, fun, with a great cast of characters and a great storyline. Dreymon is perfect as Uhtred, and Uhtred character works perfectly in this series. Looking forward to a 3rd series. Keep them coming!!

Yo, WW – it is not a documentary (although I can’t recall any documentaries that have been absolutely fair or accurate) so you won’t like it. It is entertainment, and darn good entertainment at that. Unless you’re a student of that time period of English history you won’t know when/where history ends and drama begins. Good acting, wonderful script and directing. The only bad thing is that it disappeared after last week!

I watched this entire series (and hope, hope, hope it is renewed). It is a good adjunct to the series “Vikings”. Make no mistake, it is not a documentary. It is a story based on history but not necessarily, a completely (and not meant to be)history. There has been artistic license taken with both series. There is a minor crossover between the two series with the mention of Ragnar, but this is supposed to be the same story from a different point of view. Also, despite the depiction of the Danes/ Vikings as barbarian warriors intent on “raping, pillaging, warmongers”,… Read more »

This is an interesting time period, but I’ll watch only if there is historical accuracy to it. Not made up time lines, events and people. For me this is why the Tudors failed, misrepresentation of actual events and people.

Uhtred is a made up character. This is a story based in a period in history. It is fun to watch. I hope you will watch to enjoy, it’s hard not to!
