The Last Kingdom Season 5 airs today on Netflix after two years off the air. As fans get stuck into the next series, the main character, Uhtred, has realised his destiny is more than he thought.
New enemies enter to fight for England’s kingdoms in the British television series. The series also has brief cameos of earlier stars in the hit series.
As the peace between Saxon and Dane wilts, a ruthless warrior will disrupt this. Many deaths have also been hinted at for this new season, meaning lots of drama is set to unfold.
Season 5 of Netflix’s historical drama will conclude the tale of its principal character, Uhtred of Bebbanburg (Alexander Dreymon), in a very satisfactory manner, as the transgressions of Uhtred’s past collide head-on with his present and future.
Uhtred finds himself in an odd situation at the start of the season — unable to be with Aethelflaed (Millie Brady), the woman he loves and Lady of Merica, he governs a Mercian border town at her request.
However, strange things are afoot, as Brida (Emily Cox) is determined to take her vengeance once and for all, and foes from across the House of Wessex are gathering.
