With such a loyal fanbase, we’re excited to give viewers a chance to follow Uhtred on the next stage of his epic quest, where not everyone survives.”

The filming for The Last Kingdom Season 5 was done in Hungary. It was a tough time for the entertainment industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the filming started in 2020 under COVID restriction. The production was completed in June 2021.

In April 2021, during the shoot of the final season in Hungary, Dreymon said, “Considering the circumstances, we’re incredibly fortunate to be in production at the moment.” He also said, “Everyone is doing their part, it’s going very well so far and we hope to be able to bring something really special.”
