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.

awesome series really enjoyed it, a lot better then bastar d ex..
Good show… maybe not as good as ‘The Vikings’, but good nonetheless.
I never beg but please please continue this series. I Love this show. Never a boring moment. The actors are perfectly picked for their characters! Alex Dreymon is an amazing actor, had never heard of him before this. At first I didn’t care for Alfred as he seemed kind of weak and sickly but I understand him better and David Dawson was perfectly cast in my opinion as a Godly and pious King. His queen plays her role so well it makes me hate her! Again, please don’t cancel this! I will be a faithful follower and tell all my… Read more »
