Netflix is always excited about its show’s new season’s release. They start
promoting the show through their numerous social media handles and uploading
exclusive interviews on YouTube. So, now that The Final Kingdom season 5 is
arriving, which will be the last of the historical fiction, Netflix is leaving
no stone unturned in its promotional efforts.

The show’s main cast has been going around talking about multiple aspects of the
show. In an interview, Alexander Dreymon, who plays Uhtred, spoke about his
character and directing an episode of the show. And Millie Brady, who plays
Aetheflaed, talks about how all the tangents in the story converge.


ALEXANDER DREYMON ON THE LAST KINGDOM SEASON 5

It is common for actors who, after working a while on a particular series, to
direct an episode or two of the show.

Fun fact: David Schwimmer who plays the iconic role of Ross Geller in the highly
successful and popular show Friends, directed ten episodes of the show.

Similarly, after working years on the set, Alexander Dreymon decided it was time
to take his place on the directors’ chair. While talking about his experience
behind the camera, the German-born actor first expressed his gratitude to the
Production for believing in him and giving him such colossal responsibility.

The actor said
[https://winteriscoming.net/2022/02/27/the-last-kingdom-cast-previews-season-5-final-netflix-uhtred/],” I’m
just hugely grateful to Carnival for giving me that opportunity and for
placing their trust in me.”

The actor then added that even though he knew what it meant to be a director and
knew that a lot was riding on him. Still, it was only after he himself
experienced the immense weight on his shoulders that a director had to carry.

He discovered a newfound respect for directors and their craft. “There’s just no
way of knowing the breadth of the director’s responsibilities and what it means
to carry the weight of that unless you do it. And I thought I knew, but I really
had no idea. It gave me even more honor and respect for that part of our world,”
the actor said.
