BBC America, BBC and Carnival Films, the NBCUniversal-owned production house behind Downton Abbey, have unveiled the lineup for The Last Kingdom, their upcoming Viking TV drama. Based on Bernard Cornwell’s bestselling series of novels, The Saxon Stories, the TV show has now started filming, with production in Hungary and the U.K.

Carnival Films' CEO Gareth Neame discussed The Last Kingdom in a recent interview.

Period hit Downton takes up about 50% of Neame’s time; some of the remainder will be taken up with Carnival’s new commission, The Last Kingdom, based on the The Saxon Stories book series from Sharpe author Bernard Cornwell. It was ordered by the BBC and US cable net BBC America.

Production is getting under way on the eight-part drama, which will be set in 872 in an England largely occupied by the Vikings. The main protagonist will be Uhtred, the son of a Saxon nobleman who is raised by the Vikings. The show aims to combine real historic events with fictional characters.

Joseph is heading off to Budapest now to begin filming a new role in BBC 2's historical series The Last Kingdom, an adaptation of the Bernard Cornwell novels.

A Carnival Films and BBC America co-production for BBC Two, The Last Kingdom is an adaptation of Bernard Cornwell’s best-selling series of books by BAFTA nominated and RTS award-winning writer Stephen Butchard.
