“The Last Kingdom” is ready for its last run.
With the debut of the feature-length film “Seven Kings Must Die” on Netflix on April 14, the epic series is wrapping up, with the fifth and final season having aired on Netflix in March 2022.
The film serves as a fitting send off to the series, which is based on the Bernard Cornwell novel series “The Saxon Stories.” Like the books, the show follows the fictional character Uhtred (played by Alexander Dreymon), a Saxon who was captured and raised by Danish invaders in England in the ninth century A.D. Uhtred is raised to live the life of a viking, but destiny puts him in the employ of the House of Wessex and King Alfred, who seeks to unite the disparate kingdoms into one country called England.

Welcome to Deadline’s International Disruptors, a feature where we’ll shine a spotlight on key executives and companies outside of the U.S. shaking up the offshore marketplace. This week, we’re talking with top German talent agency Players. Headed up by Mechthild Holter and Fabian Haslob, the duo have clients that have worked across recent projects such as Babylon Berlin, Unorthodox and Deutchland ’89. In a rare interview, they tell us why now is a great time for German-speaking talent to cross borders.
With film and television sectors more globalized than ever, international talent has fast become a premium for streamers as they lean in on local language productions in foreign markets to offset stagnant domestic growth. One company at the sharp end of this change is Germany’s Players Agency. The company, which was founded by Mechthild Holter in 1994, represents around 180 actors, writers, directors and cinematographers and is...

Spoiler Alert: Do not keep reading if you have not finished Season 5 of “The Last Kingdom.”
“The Last Kingdom” is coming to an end.
Although a two-hour movie followup is currently filming, Season 5 of the Netflix historical drama wraps up the story of its central character, Uhtred of Bebbanburg, played by Alexander Dreymon, in a very satisfying way — as the sins of Uhtred’s past collide head on with his present and the future of England.
Uhtred finds himself in an unusual place at the beginning of the season — unable to be with Aethelflaed (Millie Brady), the woman he loves and the Lady of Merica, he presides over a Mercian border town at her request. But strange things are in the air, as Brida (Emily Cox) is determined to have her vengeance once and for all and the enemies of the House of Wessex are gathering.

Destiny is all! That’s the cry of Alexander Dreymon’s warrior character Uhtred in action-packed, 9th-Century medieval drama The Last Kingdom. The fifth and final season streams on Netflix March 9. Based on Bernard Cromwell’s novels, Saxon Stories, it’s set against the bloody struggle to control what would eventually become England. Uhtred, born a Saxon but kidnapped as a child and raised by Danes, is torn between different factions. Last we saw the passionate hero, he had been entrusted with caring for King Edward’s (Timothy Innes) illegitimate young son, who was being targeted by his scheming grandfather, Lord Aethelhelm (Adrian Schiller). Dreymon, who’s in Bulgaria shooting the series’ epic follow-up film, Seven Kings Must Die, gave us the low-down on just how dangerous it gets for Uhtred; the challenges of scaling a wall in full armor; and what keepsake the actor might steal from set.

“Everyone has died!” says Emily Cox, in some shock. “From season one [of The Last Kingdom], it’s just Eliza, Alex and me. Everyone else has gone!” We’re speaking on Zoom in July 2021, a month after filming wrapped on the final season of the Netflix action drama, and Cox hasn’t had much time to reflect. She went straight from playing warrior Brida to a lead role on feature film Alma & Oskar, even having to miss the wrap party with her beloved Last Kingdom co-stars.
To be one of only three original cast members still standing at the start of the last season (alongside Alexander Dreymon’s lead Uhtred and Eliza Butterworth’s pious Lady Aelswith) clearly means a lot. Cox talks about the character of Brida with affection and compassion – no easy task for a character capable of such sadism. In season five, Brida is Uhtred’s enemy. But...

The Last Kingdom Season 4 Episode 9
And that, Edward, is exactly what Sigtryggr was talking about. Anger is not a battle plan. Storming red-faced up to the locked gates of a well-stocked, well-defended city and screaming “Do you surrender?” while your men drop like swatted flies is madness. Did you learn nothing about military strategy from your father? What was the number one rule? Always. Ask. Uhtred.
Uhtred is a changed man at this end of the season. Where once he’d have been scaling Winchester’s walls with a dagger between his teeth and vengeance in his heart, he’s learned that impetuousness leads to loss. It’s a lesson Edward sorely needs.
King Edward isn’t coming off well in season four. Two episodes ago, it looked as though he’d sloughed off his immaturity and taken on his father’s true mantle,...

Filming has commenced on the fourth season of The Last Kingdom for Netflix, the hit historical drama based on Bernard Cornwell’s best-selling novel series The Saxon Stories.
Alexander Dreymon reprises his role as Uhtred, joined by new cast Stefanie Martini who takes on the role of Eadith, Aethelred’s new love conquest, and Aethelred’s new right-hand man Eardwulf, played by Jamie Blackley.
After the death of Alfred, the alliances between the kingdoms are fractured. Uhtred believes the timing is right to challenge his uncle Aelfric, played by Joseph Millson, and take back his ancestral home, Bebbanburg. However fate shifts in a different direction, leading Uhtred to realize that his destiny is tied to Alfred’s dream of a united land. This, and Uhtred’s feelings for Aethelflaed, drive him back into the politics that threaten to break out into war.

Following last weekend’s big roll out of The Favourite from Fox Searchlight, this weekend will likely see a pause for awards contenders making splashy Specialty box office numbers. Orion Pictures is giving a limited start to comedy-horror-musical Anna And the Apocalypse, starring Ella Hunt and Malcom Cumming. Timed to the holiday season, the title fits the company’s strategy of releasing films that target specific audiences. Screen Media, meanwhile, has two very different features heading out, though both will have one-time event screenings around the country (on different dates) in addition to specific targeted regular runs. James Marsh’s The Mercy starring Colin Firth and Rachel Weisz opens Village East in New York through the distributor, while animated feature Elliot: The Littlest Reindeer will have regular engagements starting in New York and L.A. Friday in a day and date release in addition to event screenings in over 100 cities.

I pity the cameraperson. Did you see those battle shots? Filmed from inside the throng, with all the blood, mud and squelch flying. Swords swiping across flesh and sliding through windpipes. Shields knocking skulls, and bodies stamped into the ooze. So much butchery you could smell it. Kudos to director Jon East and the team for putting me right off my teatime sausage roll.
Episode six’s opening few moments weren’t just brutal, they were also tense, and ultimately, rousing. Alfred’s tactic was shrewdly effective. It forced Edward to think like a king, and forced The Last Kingdom’s viewers to chew their sofa cushions under...

BBC Two’s new adaptation of Bernard Cornwell’s The Last Kingdom has plenty to recommend it...
This review contains spoilers. Our spoiler-free review is here.
‘Sblood, zounds, fustilarian… of all the historical expletives drama has taught us over the years, I think I’m going to get the most use out of “Devil’s turds”. That’s how Saxon Lord Uhtred (Matthew Macfadyen modelling a hawk) describes the Danes spotted sailing into Northumbria in the tense opening moments of BBC Two’s new Viking-era drama, The Last Kingdom.
He’s not being overly harsh, as it turns out. From the off, the Danes behave in an unquestionably turd-like manner. Their idea of teaching you a lesson is to swagger up to your dad’s house looking like a Bungle after a spin in the tumble dryer, and pulling your decapitated head out of a bag. That...
