- Season 4 of "The Last Kingdom" has been available on Netflix since April 26, 2020 .
- The series is based on the Uhtred saga by author Bernard Cornwell .
- Fans are now hoping for a fifth season of the series.
After about 17 months, the Netflix series "The Last Kingdom" entered its fourth round. For a long time, the fans did not know when it would finally go on, as the makers did not comment on a start date. Instead, they provided viewers on Instagram with countless backstage photos *. A few weeks before season 4 started, Netflix finally released details about the release of the ten new episodes.
But fans are already asking the next question: Will there be a fifth season of the series?
"The Last Kingdom": That's why there has to be a 5th season
The historical series "The Last Kingdom" is based on the Uhtred saga by writer Bernard Cornwell . The author has published several novels that still offer enough material for further seasons. And indeed, Uhtred's story doesn't seem to be over after the fourth season of the series. For example, the protagonist still hasn't managed to recapture his home in Bebbanburg .
Since this important storyline was only partially addressed in the fourth season, the makers of the series seem to leave some leeway for upcoming seasons. So does that mean that season 5 will definitely be shot ?

Has Netflix already confirmed a 5th season of "The Last Kingdom"?
Whether a 5th season of "The Last Kingdom" is produced or not is currently in the stars. Netflix has not yet commented on a sequel and fans will probably have to wait a few weeks for a statement.
If a filming of a fifth season is commissioned, there could be delays due to the corona virus *. Usually there are about one and a half years between the individual seasons of the series. It may now take longer to produce another sequel. Incidentally, this problem would not only affect the makers of "The Last Kingdom" . The releases of new seasons of the series "The Witcher" * or "Stranger Things" * could also be postponed indefinitely.
