If you've never watched the series The last kingdom, here is a brief explanation: there are 5 seasons of epic fights that take place in the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries, a little history of the United Kingdom – since it is fiction – with hints about “Danese” or Danish Vikings, and a lot blood, sweat and tears.

The Last Kingdom gained fans all over the world and ended without including Bernard Cornwell's last books, about the fate of the character Uhtred, a Saxon warrior raised by Vikings and played by German actor Alexander Dreymond – which made a lot of hearts flutter 💓!

The executive producer and main actor himself released the first images of the film on his Instagram:

According to the film's description brought forward by Netflix, Uhtred must once again ride through a fractured kingdom with several of the series' beloved returning characters, as they fight alongside allies against new enemies.

After King Edward's death, a battle for the crown ensues, as rival heirs and invaders compete for power. And when an alliance emerges seeking Uhtred's help in their plans, he faces a choice between those he cares about most and his dream of forming a united England.

In his post, Alexandre Dreymond thanked him for the opportunity to continue the saga, now on the big screen:

“As an actor, I was greatly challenged and gratified by the privilege of playing Uhtred. Hanging up Uhtred's sword after filming 'Seven Kings Must Die' felt, ironically, heavy – even though I know our story has come to an end. As a producer, I couldn't be more proud of the hundreds of people who spent thousands of hours to make the best product possible. As for our loyal fans… what can I say? You are the reason why we have reached this point and managed to bring our saga to the end. This, as it has always been, is for you.”
