"The Last Kingdom" tells the story of England when it was divided into seven kingdom, particularly in the view of Uhtred. He was orphaned in a war and was captured and raised by a Danish warlord as his own. When Ragnar, the Danish lord, was killed along with his family, Uhtred finds himself being a suspect and had to flee. He came to a resolve that he would fight for his birth right. To do so, he needs to gain power and wealth. He pledged his sword to King Alfred, and as he continues with his journey, his loyalty will be tested.

Based on the best-selling series "The Saxon Stories" by Bernard Cornwell, "The Last Kingdom" is produced by Carnival Films. It stars Alexander Dreymon, the lead character Uhtred of Bebbanburg. Other cast members include David Dawson (King Alfred), Emily Cox (Brida), Ian Hart (Beocca) and Tobias Santelmann (Earl Ragnar), who were all in the first season. Season 2 will see the addition of Christopher Sciueref, Richard Rankin, Thure Lindhardt, Millie Brady, Peter McDonald, Björn Bengtsson and Magnus Samuelsson.

"The Last Kingdom" will premiere on BBC Two and on Netflix in the United States in 2017.
