The Last Kingdom is based on Bernard Cornwell's novels, and another of his books has been adapted for the small screen.

The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die jumped to the No. 1 spot on the Netflix Top 10 movies list in the U.S. on Saturday (April 15), the day after its release.

'The Last Kingdom' actor Adrian Schiller has died at 60. 'His death was sudden and unexpected,' his representative said in a statement.
