Now solely owned by Netflix, The Last Kingdom is a British Historical fiction series. The show is based on Bernard Cornwell’s series of novels The Saxon Stories. BBC priorly created The Last Kingdom for two seasons. However later, Netflix became the producer of the show for the third season.
The show focuses on Uhtred of Bebbanburg; a Saxon boy brought up by Danes as he got captured. Since then, he has been trapped between finding his actual place within these two worlds ever since. The first season of The Last Kingdom debuted in November 2015, followed by another two installments in 2017 and 2018. The show has received positive reviews from the critics as well as the audience.
Cnut Wrapped Up Filming
It seems that things are beginning to wind up for Season 4. A week ago, news came in that Magnus Bruun (Cnut) has completed the filming work for The Last Kingdom Season 4. The star used Twitter to share this news for the fans of the show. He captioned the post as, “Hanging up Cnut’s hair and losing the beard after wrapping my scenes for #TheLastKingdom season 4.I am looking forward to you all seeing just how much of a Cnut I’ve been. Because as you know; Once a Cnut always a Cnut.”

However, Bruun’s revelation of removing his beard felt somehow wistful. The fans thought that he might be wrapped up his filming for the entire series. To that, Bruun made clear that he has just filmed the last scene for this season.
I hope this doesn't mean what I think it means; I hope it just means Cnut gets a snazzy new hair cut for season 5!
