WHAT’S ON NETFLIX

“The Last Kingdom” Season 4 Put your allegiances to the test as “The Last Kingdom” returns for a fourth season on Sunday, April 26. The ninth-century historical drama series, which Netflix stepped in to coproduce at the beginning of Season 2, chronicles the life and conquests of Uhtred Bebbanburg (Alexander Dreymon, “American Horror Story”) as he struggles both with his inner demons and his military enemies. Kidnapped by the Danish Vikings during their invasion of Saxony and raised as a Dane, Uhtred later learns he is the rightful successor to a Saxon earldom. He grapples with his loyalty to the people who raised him and his duty to uphold his birthright while the landscapes of the kingdoms and surrounding areas continue to change. Based on “The Saxon Stories” novels by English author Bernard Cornwell, the first three seasons vaguely follow the plot of the first six books. Season 4 consists of 10 episodes and picks up where the saga left off as the Saxons and the Danes are about to enter into a battle for the ages, and the fates of Uhtred, Wessex and the seven kingdoms all hang in the balance.

From comedy guru Greg Daniels, cocreator of “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation,” comes Prime’s new science fiction satire series on Friday, May 1.
