BBC, BBC American and Carnival Films have unveiled the lineup for the new Viking TV drama "The Last Kingdom".

"The Last Kingdom" is based on Bernard Cornwell's bestselling series The Saxon Stories.  The drama has begun filming with production in Hungary and the U.K.

Gabrielsson, Peter Gantzler, Joseph Millson (played alongside Matthew in Enid), Alexandre Willaume, Rune Temte and Henning Valin Jakobsen.
