It’s time to ride once more for Bebbanburg! Netflix has just announced the release date for its highly-anticipated The Last Kingdom movie, Seven Kings Must Die. Uhtred of Bebbanburg and his band of comrades will be returning to the streaming service one last time on April 14. Destiny is all!
Seven Kings Must Die is a sequel to The Last Kingdom on Netflix, one last adventure to finish out the tale of Uhtred of Bebbanburg. Both the TV show and movie are based on The Saxon Stories book series by Bernard Cornwell. Here’s the official description for the movie:
"Alexander Dreymon reprises his lead role as the great warrior Uhtred of Bebbanburg, who must ride once more across a fractured kingdom with several of the series’ much-loved returning characters, as they battle alongside, and against, new allies and enemies. Following the death of King Edward, a battle for the crown ensues, as rival heirs and invaders compete for power. And when an alliance comes seeking Uhtred’s help in their plans, Uhtred faces a choice between those he cares for most, and the dream of forming a united England."
Dreymon, who has played Uhtred for all five seasons, weighed in. “It has been such an honor to be part of telling this story for all these years,” he said in a statement. “As an actor, I have been so challenged and gratified by the privilege of playing Uhtred. Hanging up Uhtred’s sword after filming SEVEN KINGS felt, ironically, heavy – even though I know that our tale has reached its conclusion. As an EP on the show, I could not be more proud of the hundreds of people who spent thousands of hours to make the best product possible. As for our loyal fans…what can I say? You are the reason we’ve reached this point and got to bring our saga to the end. This, as it always has been, is for you.”
