The fifth season of The Last Kingdom begins with a sense of suspicion, as though a battle is about to break out. The Saxons want to depart north, but new Vikings are threatening their survival. As things begin to worsen, King Uhtred is summoned.

The final season of the show will take another time jump, with the teaser suggesting that the Saxons and Danes had lived in peace for “many years.”
The reappearance of Brida (Emily Cox), who now commands a large army of warriors and vows vengeance on Uhtred for what she perceives to be his abandonment, is about to upset this tranquillity.
The Last Kingdom is an adaptation of Bernard Cornwell’s Saxon Stories series of thirteen novels. According to Cornwell’s website, the first eight volumes served as the foundation for the show’s first four seasons, and he has since renamed his series of novels The Last Kingdom series.
The Last Kingdom, the first book in the series, was published in 2004, while War Lord, the final installment, was released in October 2020. Stephen Butchard, who also wrote the British crime thriller series Baghdad Central, is working on a television adaptation of The Last Kingdom.

With that said, we didn’t have any form of official indication the show was under filming until April 2021, a short film on The Last Kingdom’s YouTube page went through the process.
