Fans can also enjoy a feature-length film, The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die, which is also available to stream now.
It sees arrival of the Great Heathen Army in England led by Guthrum and Ubba Ragnarsson, redefining the relationship between Vikings and Anglo-Saxons.

Others have gone as far to say that it beats Game of Thrones. @olusholatash said: "This show is better than Game of Thrones and Vikings put together!! No unnecessary plot twist, direct and relatable… makes alot of sense and not unnecessarily long, just five seasons! The Last Kingdom is 15/10 rating!" while @EndogenicN01se agreed: "The Last Kingdom is better than Game of Thrones btw".
