What will The Last Kingdom Season 6 be about?
The Last Kingdom is inspired by Bernard Cornwell’s book series called The Saxon Stories. So far, the show has covered the first ten books in five seasons. There are still three books in the series that haven’t been adapted yet, so that the movie will be based on those instead. This means that Dreymon and many other seasons five cast members will likely appear in the film since it takes place after season five.
At MCM London Comic-Con, Nigel Marchant said the fifth season would be the series finale. He said, “There was always one more story we wanted to tell,” but with Netflix’s support and fans’ desire to see more content, they decided to make one last season. Fans may have to wait for The Last Kingdom Season 6 Trailer also named as, Seven Kings Must Die.
The Last Kingdom Season 6 Release Date
The Last Kingdom Season 6 will debut at some point in the future, albeit when that time comes remains unknown. The internal sources claim that we can anticipate The Last Kingdom Season 6 to premiere sometime between January and June 2023, but this is still unconfirmed.
The first season of The Last Kingdom aired on BBC Two in late 2015. The second season ran a few years later, in early 2017. Netflix launched the third season in 2018, and the fourth arrived two years later, in 2020. However, according to rumours, we’ll have to wait until 2022 for the fifth instalment.
What Happens to The Last Kingdom Season 6 cast?
You can rest easy knowing that Uhtred of Bebbanburg’s journey to reunite kingdoms isn’t over before you bang your fists on the table. Fans may anticipate Seven Kings Must Die, a Netflix movie covering the tale’s final three books.
In a Radio Times interview, the executive producer, Nigel Marchant, stated, “The fifth season of the television show does seem like the finale, and the movie will be much more of a standalone. Fans of the TV show will especially enjoy it, but you can watch it even if you’ve never watched the program.”
Season 5 appears to close with everything resolved, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Uhtred is now moving closer to realizing his father’s ambition of uniting England after the war for Bebbanburg is over. The Saxon Stories’ last three volumes will be brought to life for viewers, as planned. Things are far from over for Uhtred’s journey with a furious king and a burgeoning family.

Waiting for The Last Kingdom Season 6 Release Date eagerly.
I think there should be more of the last kingdom, obviously there is much history and it should go on and on!
People like myself enjoy Viking erra
Everytime they get really good, they end them. All of the best movies, series, etc, always end when they are in their Highest point.
There is no SEASON 6 of The Last Kingdom! The last part is a Movie it is called The Last Kingdom Seven Kings Must Die!
We don’t want a movie! We want the Seasons to continue and not just season 6 we want 7 and 8 and 9. As many as we can get, we are faithful Watchers. A 2 hour movie will be over to fast and seems alot will be left out. We want to see everything that happens.
I agree with the majority and would love to see this series continue on tv! A movie is also good but why not continue with something that has brought such success!!!

Es la mejor serĂa de netflix las king que haya muchas mĂĄs verdadera historias que en el pasado el presente no conoce
Yes, exactly.
I just finished it now. Can’t wait to see the movie… I’ve really enjoyed it! Im not a book person but this made me search for more. I also love Uhtred’s accent (Alexander Dreymon), it feels like music to my ears. I miss them right away.
There is So very much more that could be told. We enjoy having it viewed in seasons instead of a movie. We become a part of what we are watching, we get scared with them. Cry with them, hold our breath, and cheer with them. There is so many shows on that has 12-14 Seasons, why can’t the Last Kingdom be like those? I know there has to be So much more to tell, so much more happened and we want to know, we want to watch. Please give us what we ask for, the history is so Important to learn and very intriguing to watch. I thank Netflix for airing it, but give us more, there is too many ridiculous shows on that has 15-20 season that teach us nothing. This show has grown on us and I speak for so many. I hope that you change your mind and continue the season. You have many loyal Fans waiting to see what happens next.

Couldnât agree more
Agree
I am a fan of British history in this time. so I back Susan’s call for more. a movie, even 2 hours dose not do justice to three books when 2 books were 2 seasons of 8 episodes and 3 of 10 all nearly an hour long. Netflix was on a winner, why stop now.
I would marry you, If I knew you. đCuz, I would be happy knowing you want what I want.
This cannot be the end. There is more to tell, more to imagine… C’mon.đ©
More more! We all want more! Seasons!
I literally shade tears on the last scene of the episode where utrede stood in his birthright kingdom please continue with the series atleast tell us the story of there sons please this is one of the most amazing series i have watched and loved and feel part of it please make it to be seasons…
Additive! My husband and I watched it all!! together, and heâs not a tv watcher at all! Hated to see it end. The movie will be cool but will still leave us wanting more Uhtred!
Just got done binging the entire story. So good that sometimes I didnât go to sleep until 4:00 a.m.
As a descendant of Vikings, I felt like I was part of the story, although I would have only been a peasant warrior and certainly would not have lived as I did to reach 76. I just finished my first draft of a 87,000 word autobiography, and was proud to include my heritage. ALWAYS MEDICATED NEVER HEALED The Life and Times of a Bipolar Teacher.
I absolutely LOVE the story/show. Itâs very addictive. Iâve done watched the whole series/story more than once. I canât believe that itâs ending. There is so much more that could be told. I laughed, I cried, I held my breath with them. I swear every series/show I really get into and love they always end up only having just a few seasons. It drives me crazy! There are so many dumb shows that have like 15-20 (if not more) seasons, why canât The Last Kingdom be like them and have MORE seasons. Itâs a very good, interesting, entertaining, and all around just absolutely a GREAT show. I mean itâs just not right. It has so many fans and viewers why would are yâall gonna take it away from us just like that?. Heart breaking đ There are so many ppl that love the show and wanting more. PLEASE change your mind and give us more. Canât wait to watch the movie but why not continue it in seasons?. Itâs also just gonna have us all wanting more so come on plz continue the series and give us many more seasons. As popular as it is and with so much more that could/should be told, I canât believe yâall are just gonna end it. We really hope that y’all change your minds about ending it.
I love, love, love this entire series. I have watched this movie every nite for 4 mi. I know and love every one and every thing about this error. Iâve learned so much. Canât wait for the ending.
This series made me feel so many emotions, happiness, sadness, broken hearted, triumph and defeat! I admired Uhtredâs spirit of compassion and knowing right and wrong. He was the fiercest of warriors, but he never bullied or killed unless it was warranted. Yet he had much Dane in him. He loved his Dane father and learned how to fight from him. I became attached to not just the Uhtred character, but many of the people in his life. I really thought the relationship between Uhtred and Father Bioorca was wonderful! Spanning several decades and stages of life. And Uhtredâs unrequited love for Lady Aethelfled. I felt real emotional pain when she died. It takes a great plot and great acting to extract that type of reaction! The actress playing Lady Aethelfled really had a regal air about her. And a beauty that only a true queen could possess. Uhtredâs relationship with Brida, going from a childhood friendship to a romantic love and eventually evolving into a love/hate bond. I became attracted to all the characters! Some I hated and some I loved. Uhtred had such an eclectic group of friends and acquaintances. From kings to bloodthirsty villains. I guess itâs obvious that I loved The Last Kingdom. I would also love it if you brilliant people would make a sixth season! Please, I think there are many more battles and negotiations for Uhtred to participate in. Thank you for giving us the first five seasons!
I never knew one could get instantly addicted to a TV program so quickly, and I never know i would love a program about a old era like the last kingdom so much! How beautifully filmed and geniusly written omg and the backgrounds and storylines, I became an instant fan, hope it never ends!
I totally agree with everyone here asking for more series. I have never binge watched a series as excellent as this. I have now bought the books to read though I have never read any books like this before and I am an avid pensioner reader.
Please continue to create the series. I even started to watch it again from season 1 before I watch the movie. We really loved the series please continue the seriesâŠ
Not happy that you are not going to do a 6th season of ” THE LAST KINGDOM” as other people have said before me we need more 6, 7, 8, 9 ect. Please change your minds.
I agree đŻ with everyone there is so much garbage on t.v. now and they all have nothing to gain by watching all 24 26 27 28 29 ect of the seasons.
The last kingdom is a majestic show and yes the movie is 2 hours long but there is so so so so much more that you could go off from to create more seasons for the fans. I absolutely love the last kingdom and all the characters I love the story line. As others said before me, the show makes you feel connected, you feel all the emotions all the pain all the suffering and happiness, joy ,hate ,every darn emotion you could think of. as I watch this show it makes me feel like I am truly there , as a welsh descendant my self it was amazing going on this journey with Uhtred and I do not want this show to end ever. The last kind is By far one of the best shows ever made in history and quit literally made about history in my opinion . Please please please please continue on do not stop with the movie.
This is without a doubt one of the most underrated shows on TV. I love it I had finished it a while ago so to get ready for the movie I just re-watched season 5. I loved it as much as the first time. The Last Kingdom is awesome!
I want know what happened after season 5 I can see next season tell us
