The Cast and Character Guide
Before we go any further, I’d want to direct your attention to the cast and character guide for The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die. Here are some of the key characters you’ll encounter:
Alexander Dreymon as Uhtred of Bebbanburg
Uhtred of Bebbanburg, the primary protagonist of the first season of the original The Last Kingdom series, is portrayed by Alexander Dreymon. The Saxon nobleman had a troubled childhood despite being born in Northumbria, now known as northern England, in the latter part of the ninth century. After his father was murdered in the conflict, the Danes took little Uhtred into their care and reared him as one of their own. He was raised by Vikings and developed into a brilliant tactician. Uhtred is constantly divided between his allegiance to the Danes and his Saxon heritage during the book. But all he wants is his ancestral home of Bebbanburg back from his uncle, who took it over while Uhtred was overseas.
Mark Rowley as Finan
Mark Rowley portrays the role of Finan, a skilled warrior who is also Uhtred of Bebbanburg’s devoted friend. Finan was a formerly enslaved person the Danes had enslaved for some time before Uhtred rescued him and allowed him to join Uhtred’s band of warriors. Finan was originally from Ireland. Finan is a smart and amusing figure that provides comic relief when there is tension in the scenario. But don’t allow his sense of humor to fool you into letting your guard down. He possesses the same ferocity and prowess as Uhtred.
Arnas Fedaravicius as Sihtric
Sihtric, a fellow warrior and one of Uhtred’s friends, is portrayed by Arnas Fedaravicius in the show. Sihtric is a shy and reticent guy, but one thing that sets him apart from the other gang members is his ability to function as a mediator between Uhtred and the others. It is not uncommon for him to be able to defuse heated circumstances and bring everyone together to work toward a similar objective. Despite this, Sihtric and Uhtred’s friendship has not been without its share of bumps in the road. It took him some time to demonstrate his dedication and convince Uhtred of his loyalty to the cause. On the other hand, the cleverness and ingenuity that Sihtric possesses have made him an extremely important asset to their group.
Rod Hallett as Constantin
The role of Constantin, King of Scotland, is played by Rod Hallett. Even if he had to change his goals after The Last Kingdom Season 5, that wouldn’t stop him from going after the crown. In the next installment, Constantin will play a much more important part; therefore, you should keep an eye out for him.
Harry Gilby as Æthelstan
The character of ‘Æthelstan, Uhtred’s ward, is portrayed by Harry Gilby. Æthelstan is the son of King Edward of Wessex, played by Timothy Innes, and Ecgwynn, Julia Brown’s character, who was Edward’s first wife. As the series proceeds, Uhtred becomes a guide or mentor for Æthelstan, instructing him in the skills of a seasoned fighter and an effective commander. Æthelstanmatures into a bold and capable individual under Uhtred’s teaching and instruction, which will undoubtedly be reflected in Gilby’s portrayal when the character is portrayed on screen.
Ross Anderson as Domnal
Domnal, the prince of Alba and King Constantin’s nephew, is portrayed by Ross Anderson in the show. In the upcoming episode, “The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die,” Domnal, who is one of the show’s many remaining adversaries, will not be giving up his role anytime soon.
Cavan Clerkin as Father Pyrlig
The character of Father Pyrlig, a priest formerly a warrior, is played by Cavan Clerkin. In the fifth season of The Last Kingdom, in which he also reprised his role, Father Pyrlig came dangerously close to losing his life. Fortunately, luck was on his side, and he had a handful of people assisting him.
James Northcote as Aldhelm
The character of Aldhelm, Lord Etheldred’s strategic counselor, quasi-tutor, and right-hand man, is portrayed by James Northcote, who also portrays the role. Throughout The Last Kingdom, Aldhelm tends to switch allegiances, following whichever leader he thinks would be in the greatest position to advance his interests.
Elaine Cassidy as Queen Eadgifu
Queen Eadgifu, King Edward the Elder’s third wife, is played by Elaine Cassidy. At first, Sonya Cassidy (no relation) was cast as the Queen. Despite this, she could not play the role again due to unanticipated circumstances; Elaine Cassidy was cast in the position instead.
With such a talented cast bringing these characters to life, The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die promises to be an unforgettable conclusion to the series. Make sure to mark your calendars for April 14, 2023, and get ready to witness the thrilling climax of The Last Kingdom!
