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.

Loved the 1st season so far and waiting for the season finale on Thursday. There had better be a 2nd series as its one of BBCs finest and ranks alongside Vikings in my mind
really enjoyed it ,hope the make a 2nd series,best bbc program for a long time
I am looking forward for a season 2 just waiting on the date
Enjoyed the series, read all the books
Hope BBC pursues the story until hero reclaims his kindom
I loved this series
This was my favorite new show of the season. REALLY hope it’s renewed!
Excellent writing, directing and scenery.
And WHOA! A gorgeous cast!
This series is a keeper!!!!!
I’d be so sad if this show were cancelled. I look forward to it every week, and I think it’s wonderful. I got my husband addicted to it too.
This was a fantastic series. I would be absolutely devastated if they cancel this. This was so well done – a great period piece with excellent acting. It is a very interresting period in English history with great stories to be told. Please don’t cancel this series…
Please don’t cancel The Last Kingdom. It’s a wonderful show and deserves many more seasons.
Definitely looking forward to Season 2 after watching Season 1 in just 2 days! Great story line. so I hope it doesn’t get canceled. Not many good series on T.V. right now. Season 2 should have more episodes.
Thought this was well done. With so much out about the Tudors and Plantagenat’s, its nice to have a well written story about the earliest times of the engilsh empire.
I will be crushed if they don’t do all of the books
Really enjoyed it and hope for a second season 2.
Absolutely love it. Pleeeeeeeese renew
