The Last Kingdom movie ‘Seven Kings Must Die’ – first look images and release date
Monday 13th February 2023: Following on from last year’s fifth and final season of Netflix’s hit epic historical drama, The Last Kingdom, comes a first look at the feature-length movie, Seven Kings Must Die.
Alexander Dreymon reprises his lead role as the great warrior Uhtred of Bebbanburg, who must ride once more across a fractured kingdom with several of the series’ much-loved returning characters, as they battle alongside, and against, new allies and enemies. Following the death of King Edward, a battle for the crown ensues, as rival heirs and invaders compete for power. And when an alliance comes seeking Uhtred’s help in their plans, Uhtred faces a choice between those he cares for most, and the dream of forming a united England.
Alexander said: “It has been such an honor to be part of telling this story for all these years. As an actor, I have been so challenged and gratified by the privilege of playing Uhtred. Hanging up Uhtred’s sword after filming SEVEN KINGS felt, ironically, heavy – even though I know that our tale has reached its conclusion. As an EP on the show, I could not be more proud of the hundreds of people who spent thousands of hours to make the best product possible. As for our loyal fans…what can I say? You are the reason we’ve reached this point and got to bring our saga to the end. This, as it always has been, is for you.”
Seven Kings Must Die will be released on Netflix on Friday 14th April, and is produced by Carnival Films, which is part of Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group. Seven Kings Must Die is written by Martha Hillier, produced by Nigel Marchant, Gareth Neame and Mat Chaplin, and directed by Ed Bazalgette. Alexander Dreymon and Martha Hillier serve as Executive Producers. It is distributed worldwide by NBCUniversal International Distribution.
