Joe Otterson TV ReporterSPOILER ALERT: Do not keep reading if you have not finished Season 5 of “The Last Kingdom.”“The Last Kingdom” is coming to an end.Although a two-hour movie followup is currently filming, Season 5 of the Netflix historical drama wraps up the story of its central character, Uhtred of Bebbanburg, played by Alexander Dreymon, in a very satisfying way — as the sins of Uhtred’s past collide head on with his present and the future of England.Uhtred finds himself in an unusual place at the beginning of the season — unable to be with Aethelflaed (Millie Brady), the woman he loves and the Lady of Merica, he presides over a Mercian border town at her request.
But strange things are in the air, as Brida (Emily Cox) is determined to have her vengeance once and for all and the enemies of the House of Wessex are gathering.
Variety spoke with Dreymon about the events of the season, his directorial debut, the impressive growth of several characters — and how Uhtred manages to look so young.Where do we find Uhtred as this final season begins? He is kind of the sheriff of Rumcofa, which is a border town and he is in the service of Aethelflaed, the Lady of Mercia.
He’s keeping the border safe for her. It’s kind of like a wild west town. And if you remember at the end of Season 4, he has been put in charge of raising Aethelstan [Caspar Griffiths] away from the intrigues at the court, to keep him safe and to keep him away from his enemies’ sphere of reach.
