Alexander Dreymon Set to Return in Netflix’s Upcoming Last Kingdom Spinoff: Osbert
Premieres in 2026
Netflix has officially greenlit a new chapter in The Last Kingdom universe—and fan favorite Alexander Dreymon is back. The spinoff, titled Osbert, is slated to premiere in 2026 and will follow the journey of Uhtred’s youngest son, Osbert, as he forges his own legacy in a war-torn England.
While the spotlight will now shift to a new generation, Dreymon’s return as Uhtred of Bebbanburg is a major win for longtime fans. His character brought fierce charisma, moral conflict, and unforgettable battle scenes to the original series. This spinoff won’t just introduce a new hero—it will continue Uhtred’s legacy with the man who defined it.
For those who remember, Osbert was introduced in The Last Kingdom as the child taken from Uhtred and raised away from his family. He made a quiet yet powerful return in the final season, sparking interest in his untold story. Now, this new series promises to explore his path—what he believes, what he’s fighting for, and how he’ll step out of his father’s shadow.
The creative team behind the spinoff is staying tight-lipped about major plot points, but we know the story will pick up after the events of Seven Kings Must Die. With England still divided and political tensions boiling over, Osbert finds himself caught between bloodlines, cultures, and allegiances.
Expect the same high production quality, intense action, and character-driven drama that made The Last Kingdom a fan-favorite. And with Dreymon’s Uhtred now likely playing a mentor or guide, we could see a powerful father-son dynamic at the heart of the show.
There’s also speculation that other familiar faces could make appearances—whether in flashbacks or active roles—adding more depth and nostalgia for loyal viewers. But Osbert isn’t just about looking back. It’s about building something new while honoring the old.
Osbert’s dual heritage—as both Saxon and Dane—sets up a compelling identity struggle. Much like Uhtred before him, he’ll have to choose where his loyalty lies, who he is, and what kind of leader he wants to become. With so much at stake, his journey promises to be just as riveting.
As we count down to 2026, now’s the perfect time to rewatch the original series and Seven Kings Must Die. Because when Osbert arrives, the battle for England—and for legacy—begins all over again.
