BBC has released a new teaser trailer for an upcoming eight episode period drama The Last Kingdom, adapted from Bernard Cornwell’s best-selling novels.

The series is already being described as Britain’s own Game of Thrones.

The Last Kingdom is set in the year 872 when many of the separate kingdoms of England have fallen to the invading Vikings, with only the great kingdom of Wessex left standing and defiant under the command of King Alfred the Great. The drama follows Uhtred, the son of a Saxon nobleman who is orphaned by the Vikings and then kidnapped and raised as one of their own. He finds his loyalties tested and must choose between the country of his birth and the people of his upbringing.

No word on an Australian release yet.

  1. I hope this gets picked up in Oz soon. Really keen to see it as I’m a big fan of the books. Is there any chance it’ll pop up on Australian iTunes soon even if the sods take forever to get it on the idiot box?
