The Last Kingdom Season 5 Release date: When will it arrive?
Dreymon as Uhtred of BebbanburgA series like The Last Kingdom has every aspect of its production as incredibly lengthy. This implies the fifth season won’t be available for viewing until the very end of 2021, potentially maybe even the start of 2022.
The season release has been delayed an extra month or two because Netflix took over the BBC series. And they have added two extra episodes in it: which makes it’s taking a total of 18 months between the release of the second and third season, with a further 17 months between season three and season four.
Now, if we go by the earliest possible date and calculate 17 months from the release of season four, then the fifth season is expected to arrive in October 2021. As it is the longest period between seasons: 18 months, the release date will be extended to November 2021. And we don’t really know the effects of the pandemic on the production of the fifth season.
The expected date for Netflix release: Late 2021 / Early 2022
How Was the response to The Last Kingdom Season 4?
The Last Kingdom season four has performed incredibly well with subscribers on Netflix ever since its release. It has got quite a positive response internationally, appearing in numerous top 10 lists around the world, particularly Germany and France.
While the series never ranked at number one in the UK and the US. It was only beaten by equally great shows such as After Life and Never Had I Ever, respectively. The Last Kingdom stayed in the top ten for 19 days in the United States and 24 days in the United Kingdom.
Here is the trailer of The Last Kingdom Season 4
What can we expect from The Last Kingdom Season 5?
We can expect Uhtred to be torn between loyalty and love. In the fourth season, Uhtred communicated more often with his children than any of the previous seasons. Both his children, Uhtred the Young and Stiorra, have inherited traits of his stubbornness from their father and the desire to follow their own path.
To make peace between the Danes and the Saxons, Stiorra was willing to be used as a bargaining chip and decided to join Sigtrygger and go to Eoferwic. Meanwhile, her brother Uhtred the Young has decided to continue his path with the church and his studies.
Northumbria is the last kingdom to be held by the Danes as East Anglia comes under the control of Wessex and Mercia. Despite the truce, it’s not going to last as Edward and Aethelflaed want to fulfill their father’s desire for a united England.
Eoferwic in Dane territory means that if Mercia and Wessex were to enter into conflict, Stiorra would be in danger. So what’s going to be Uhtred’s decision? Will he fight for his love, Aetheflaed, or will he stand side with his daughter Stiorra and the Danes?
Will Uhtred attempt retaking Bebbanburg?
Fate continued denying Uhtred’s reclaiming of his ancestral home of Bebbanburg. After he failed in his attempt to secure the fort. Uhtred’s cousin, Whitgar, becomes the lord of Bebbanburg after killing his own father during Uhtred’s attack, and in the process, killed Father Beocca.
Regardless of how Uhtred’s feelings after his failed assault, he seeks revenge upon his cousin for the death of Father Beocca. Whitgar made it clear that he won’t allow anyone to lay claims on Bebbanburg to be left alive. This means he may go after Uhtred’s family to draw him out into the open.
