Starring Alexander Dreymon, Harry Gilby, and Mark Rowley, the plot kicks off with the demise of King Edward due to illness, sending shockwaves across the entire realm of England. Under the rule of King Anlaf, Denmark launches an invasion of Northumbria, adding to the turmoil.
The situation escalates as Prince Ælfweard ascends the throne with support from Wessex ealdormen and a band of mercenaries.
In the midst of the chaos, Queen Eadgifu, Prince Edmund, and their forces are forced to leave their territory and seek refuge with Uhtred. Meanwhile, in Bebbanburg, Ingrith, Finan's wife, predicts that "seven kings must die along with the woman you love" before England can unite. Uhtred dismisses this prophecy, feeling unworthy of kingship and burdened by his age.
Uhtred endeavors to thwart Ælfweard's consolidation of power, advocating for Aethelstan to assume the throne. However, when Aethelstan becomes the King of England, his determination to unite the country takes a religious turn as he imposes the spread of Christianity.
Will Uhtred's efforts bear fruit, or will the prophecy unfold in unexpected ways? Watch "The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die" to unravel this riveting tale of power, prophecy, and the pursuit of a united England.
