What will happen in ‘The Last Kingdom’ Season 5?

Netflix has released an official synopsis, which reveals that the fifth season will see “Uhtred realise his destiny is more than just Bebbanburg: it is tied to the future of England itself.

“Charged with training King Edward’s first-born son Aethelstan as a warrior, Uhtred’s ambition will have an even higher purpose. But to achieve this destiny, Uhtred will have to face down his greatest enemy and suffer his greatest loss.”

Chatting to RadioTimes.com, EP Marchant said: “I think we want to tell the story of these separate kingdoms coming together and how that union happens, and also does Uhtred get back to Bebbanburg? Does he get his dream? Does he find his legacy? And what’s his involvement in bringing these kingdoms together? So, we’d love to carry on.”
