'The Last Kingdom' Season 3 Air Date, Spoilers: Netflix Drops Exciting News for Fans of the Saxon Saga

Netflix's adaptation of Bernard Cornwell's “The Saxon Stories” may have been up in the air about its upcoming installment just recently, but the streaming giant has wonderful news for any fan thinking that “The Last Kingdom” season 3 is not airing anytime soon. But an official streaming date is not the only news that Netflix has for fans of “The Last Kingdom.”

It seems that Bernard Cornwell's April interview with The Daily Express was correct about “The Last Kingdom” season 3's upcoming broadcast date. Fans will no longer have to wait until 2019 to enjoy the show's upcoming installment, as well as the challenge of looking for Cornwell's cameo in “The Last Kingdom” season 3.

Fans of “The Last Kingdom” following the show's official Twitter page were greeted by a pleasant surprise earlier this week when the show announced its official return on Netflix. Fans can now expect “The Last Kingdom” season 3 to be available for viewing on the media giant's streaming service by November. To add to the excitement that “The Last Kingdom” season 3's premiere date is less than a month away, the show's Twitter page dropped another teaser the following day.

It looks like “The Last Kingdom” season 3's return will be the debut of the show's newest characters as King Alfred's (David Dawson) second major campaign against the Danes is explored in the upcoming installment. Hopefully, the characters previewed by the show's official Twitter account will get a significant amount of screentime in the upcoming season rather than a simple introduction.

Fans looking forward to continuing the saga of Bernard Cornwell's beloved characters can catch “The Last Kingdom” season 3 when it becomes officially available on Netflix on Nov. 19. Those with keen eyes will get the chance to look out for Cornwell's teased cameo soon.
