The hit series The Last Kingdom will return with one final season. It’s an exciting prospect, but one that is also sad because there is only one season left to go before it’s all really over. At least season 5 is yet to come.
The official social media accounts for the series have been sharing official looks at characters ahead of season 5, and Aelflaed (Amelia Clarkson) was recently shared. We have all the details fans will want to know about the post. Read on for more.

We’ll have to see what season 5 of The Last Kingdom has in store for Aelflaed, the wife of King Edward of Wessex. Will she have a larger role to play? It’s unclear right now, but she will definitely be in the final season along with her husband, father, and her own son, Aelfweard (Ewan Horrocks).
The Last Kingdom’s final season can’t come soon enough. We’ll have to see what else is shared before season 5 of the series premieres in all its glory. It’s safe to say fans are excited about it, and we can understand why because we’re right there with them.
