“I like his cheekiness and the fact that he gets himself into really messed-up situations.
“He’s impulsive, and that’s fun to play – even when he’s faced with a life-or-death situation, he still wants to mess around.”
In the fourth series of The Last Kingdom, Uhtred is avenging the death of Alfred (David Dawson).
He even challenges his uncle Aelfric (played by Joseph Millson) and attempts to take back his ancestral home, Bebbanburg.
The Netflix synopsis continues: “fate shifts in a different direction, leading Uhtred to realise that his destiny is tied to Alfred’s dream of a united land.
“This, and Uhtred’s feelings for Aethelflaed (Millie Brady), drive him back into the politics that threaten to break out into war.”
