So, what can we expect from the plot of "Seven Kings Must Die"? According to the official synopsis provided by Netflix, the story will revolve around the battle for the throne of Wessex between two potential heirs - Aethelstan and Aelfweard. Lord Uhtred of Bebbanburg, ruling over Northumbria, is yet to pledge his land to the throne, and when he hears that Aethelstan is to fight, he rides to help secure victory. But, to Uhtred's dismay, the young prince has fallen under a dark influence and is not the same boy he once knew. Uhtred is faced with a difficult decision of where his loyalties lie - with the king or with his homeland.
Meanwhile, a new threat has reached the shores of England in the form of Danish Warrior-King Anlaf, hoping to use the discord for his own ends. As Aethelstan's actions make enemies across the British Isles, Anlaf brings the king's enemies together in a great alliance that threatens the vision of uniting England. Uhtred is then faced with a choice between those he cares for most and the dream of a united kingdom.
"Seven Kings Must Die" was shot in Hungary from January to March 2022, with Poldark and Doctor Who director Ed Bazalgette at the helm. The film's cast includes Alexander Dreymon, Harry Gilby, and Ewan Horrocks, to name a few.
