The Last Kingdom
England is born
Created by Stephen Butchard
A gritty historical epic that balances visceral warfare with political intrigue and character-driven questions of identity, loyalty, and belonging across a five-season arc of nation-building.
A show of heroic deeds and epic battles with a thematic depth that embraces politics, religion, warfare, courage, love, loyalty and our universal search for identity. Combining real historical figures and events with fictional characters, it is the story of how a people combined their strength under one of the most iconic kings of history in order to reclaim their land for themselves and build a place they call home.
