HomeThe Last Kingdom

A new interview with Joseph for the Radio Times has been shared. Joseph is mainly promoting his new play Apologia in the interview, which opened at the Trafalgar Studios in London at the weekend, to a great reception. He does however, also reveal his thoughts on the cancellation of Banished, and his role in The Last Kingdom. Read the interview in full on the Radio Times website.

Fans of BBC period drama Banished were left scratching their heads when the drama was cancelled after only one series. Now actor Joseph Millson, who played Major Robert Ross in the BBC2 drama, has said he thinks he knows why – and it could be to do with Poldark.

The Last Kingdom official facebook page has shared a new trailer for series 2 which begins on BBC 2 (and also Netfix apparently), at 9pm on March 16th 2017. Unfortunately the video isn't embeddable, so watch on Facebook. A series 1 video on You Tube, describing how the series was created, is embeddable, and even features a behind the scenes glimpse of Joseph.

The BBC announced yesterday that series 2 of The Last Kingdom would return at 9pm on 16th March 2017. A longer launch trailer has also been shared, but there is no sign of Joseph, who reprises his role in series 2. 

The BBC has shared the first trailer for series 2 of The Last Kingdom. There is no actual broadcast date yet, but is expected to broadcast on BBC 2 in the spring. Catch up with series 1 on BBC iPlayer now. 

The BBC Press Office announced that principal photography has begun on the second series of The Last Kingdom. Joseph recently shared a couple of photos from Budapest on Instagram. 

Filming has started on BBC Two’s critically acclaimed drama The Last Kingdom, from Carnival Films. The second series, adapted by BAFTA-nominated and RTS award-winning writer Stephen Butchard from Bernard Cornwell’s bestselling series of novels, is to return to BBC Two next year, with Netflix joining as a co-production partner. The emotionally complex and compelling landscape of revenge, rivalry, hostility, corruption, love, sex, loyalty and friendship, forms the backdrop to a gripping adventure based on Cornwell's novels, The Lords Of The North and Sword Song – part of the hugely popular bestselling franchise The Last Kingdom.
