When is the Last Kingdom season 5? Were the shots taken?

Whether The Last Kingdom will return for the fifth season on Netflix has not yet been confirmed. The streaming service will probably want to evaluate the popularity of the series before creating more episodes. We will update this page with new information about the fifth season.

What can happen in the fifth season?

If the fifth season were to give the green light, there are many places the story could go to later. For one thing, fans will want to know if Aelswith will survive the poisoning of King Edward’s wife and father-in-law. There are also a lot more stories to tell with the children of Uhtred and children of Uhtred and Stiorra, who are partners with a Viking warrior for peace.

Each season of The Last Kingdom loosely adapts two books from Bernard Cornwell’s Saxon Stories novels. The fourth season fought the Pagan Lord and the empty throne in the seventh and eighth installments. Season five is likely to be based on Warriors of the Storm and The Flame Bearer, first published in 2015 and 2016, respectively. 

Netflix has not yet renewed The Last Kingdom season 5, but it seems likely to happen. Season 4 Renewal of The Last Kingdom, came just one month after season 10 episode 3 published on Netflix in 2018. So a similar program will be followed here. This means that Netflix will likely announce the Season 5 renewal of The Last Kingdom in late May or early June 2020.

If we look at the release dates of the previous seasons, we can say that the release of The Last Kingdom season 5 will be about a year and a half and it will be released roughly around October 2021.

However, the arrival of Netflix may reach 2022, considering that there will be disruptions in shooting due to coronavirus pandemic.
