What is the release date of The Last Kingdom season 6?
The first season of the show aired in 2015. The next season followed 2 years after in 2017. After that, the show produced consecutive seasons consistently year after year. The last season of the show, that is the 5th season, premiered in 2022. Judging from the track record of the production team of the show, fans can expect the 6th season of the show to be released shortly.
However, no official news regarding a 6th season has been announced by the creators of the show. The way that the season had ended leaves much scope for development still.
What could be the probable plot of The Last Kingdom season 6?
Even though the show had originally been aired on BBC Two, Netflix had taken up the responsibility of the show soon after.

The show has up till now covered the first 10 books from the collection which inspired the series. There are still 3 books left in the collection that the show has yet to cover.
