The Last Kingdom Season 4: Plot Details!
The Last Kingdom follows the backdrop of 9th century AD. The story is driven by Uhtred, a Saxon boy who lives with Danes and is brought out by them. They had captured him and decided to raise him like their own. The creators released the official synopsis of The Last Kingdom Season 4. It reads, “After the death of Alfred, the relationships between the kingdoms are broken. Uhtred believes the timing is right to face his uncle Aelfric and take back his parental home, Bebbanburg. However, future shifts in a different direction, leading Uhtred to realize that his fate is bound to Alfred’s dream of a united land. This, and Uhtred’s feelings for Aethelflaed, bring him back into the politics that risk to break out into war.”
The new season will see another time skip and welcome aged-up versions of Uhtred’s kids who will have their own storylines this time around. In the upcoming season, Uhtred’s journey to his ancestral home will play a major role in the plotline. The fans will also witness the rise of a new king in the fourth season. King Edward will strive in his first years as the brand-new king of Wessex. Edward will require the help of Uhtred to embrace the lands and build Alfred’s dream of England. The fans can expect the fourth installment to be better and bloodier than the previous ones.
