Plot of The Last Kingdom Season 5

The title clip for the season reads:

❝ Years have passed since the events of the last season, and King Edward is still forging ahead with his ambitions to unite the Saxon Kingdoms to fulfil his late father’s dream. Although a long-standing peace between Danes and Saxons now exists, that harmony is under threat. Not only by a new Danish invasion but a Saxon rebellion. Uhtred has been entrusted with protecting Edward’s illegitimate son, the future King of England, Aethelstan. But the treacherous Lord Aethelhelm has ambitions for his grandson Aelfweard, Edward’s other son, to rule.

We follow Uhtred as he faces his greatest enemies, and suffers immeasurable loss, on his quest towards fulfilling his destiny. Meanwhile, Edward treads a fine line between peace-keeper and authoritarian as he battles to bring together the fractured Kingdoms of the land. In a surprising twist of fate, Uhtred discovers that the quest to unite England may well be linked to his own personal destiny.❞

From the official synopsis of the season and the trailer, it can be inferred that Brida, with her deep hatred for Edward and Uhtred, would incite the Viking attacks on Saxon. Maybe this is why Uhtred in the process of raising and teaching prince Aethelstan is likely to be summoned back to the war.

Seven Kings Must Die

The TV series The Last Kingdom is based on the historical "The Saxon Stories" by Bernard Cornwell, focusing on the birth of England on the basis of amalgamation of the "emirates". The set includes 13 books; each TV season is based on 2 books, so by the end of season 5, there are still 3 books left unmentioned.

At the end of 2021, Netflix announced a plan to produce a 2-hour feature film, following The Last Kingdom series. Titled Seven Kings Must Die, the movie is expected to begin filming in early 2022 in Budapest.

Actor Alexander Dreymon will return as Uhtred in Seven Kings Must Die.

Currently, the main content of Seven Kings Must Die has not been announced. Most likely the film will be based on the last three books of The Saxon Stories: War of the Wolf, Sword of Kings, and War Lord; and some other sources may be used also.
