BBC America aired the first season finale of The Last Kingdom TV show, Saturday, November 28. While it is still not clear if The Last Kingdom will be cancelled or renewed for a second season, Executive Producer Gareth Neame is already thinking about season two and teases his plans, in an interview with TV Insider.
According to Neame, if The Last Kingdom is renewed, King Alfred’s (David Dawson) season two goals will include promoting Christianity and rallying the nobles and royals to unite and kick out the Vikings. Meanwhile, Uhtred (Alexander Dreymon) will face, “…very, very dark times that will test his mettle in ways that we haven’t seen in the first season. He’ll always be headstrong and impetuous, but he will start to mature.”
Here are some more second season teases from TV Insider:
What are Uhtred’s goals now?
He’ll seek out his Anglo Saxon father’s lands in the north–his birthright. And because Iseult told him “Your sister still lives,” and that’s the first he knew that she’s still alive, he decides to look for her. […]
Will Alfred be a big part of a second season?
Yeah, he is a big character. There really are two storylines. One is the main personal story of Uhtred of Bebbenburg, who’s torn between these two identities-Saxon and Dane. He is very attracted by the Viking way of life, but he wants his stolen birthright—the estates of his Saxon father– back. He has that personal quest while Alfred has a more political story. He wants to create a nation. The two stories will continue to run side by side.

Really liked the show. Please bring it back.
I really liked this show but I’m not paying for even more channels to see it. Please bring back to BBC America. I’m already paying for MANY channels with nothing on through cable.
Season 2 aires this year on Netflix.
Please, bring back The Last Kingdom. First season was fantastic.
Having read all the Saxon novels, I am delighted to see Uhtred brought alive so well on Netflix. Cannot wait for season two!!!!
Please bring it back!!!!! With so much garbage on the tv now a days it’s nice to see a great show like this one that show so many different emotions and really draws you in and makes you can’t wait to see what will happen next! Loved every minute of it.
i thoroughly enjoyed season one and anxiously await a season two. HURRY!
We recently finished watching all the episodes for the first Season of The Last Kingdom on Netflex.
We were so impressed with the story line, casting, settings, costumes and how outstanding, professional and appealing it was.
Can hardly wait until (hopefully) you release the second Season!!
Trusting you have been working on this second Season during 2016 and it will be released on Netflex sometime in 2017 ???
We shall be ‘ very ‘ disappointed if it is not.
We LOVE this show. please renew it. We will watch it!

Just found this show on Netflix and LOVED it! The actors are excellent and the story lines very compelling. As I am also watching “Vikings”, this has a lot of familiar feel to it; but tells of a different time period. PLEASE keep it on!
