Season 1 of The Winter King, based on the Warlord Chronicles by Bernard Cornwell and which follows Arthur Pendragon as he evolves from outcast son to legendary warrior and leader, is still being released on different streaming services around the world and fans are already (im-)patiently asking about a potential Season 2.
In a recent interview with Esquire Middle East, lead actor Iain De Caestecker (Arthur) talked about all things The Winter King and ultimately was asked about his own professional future and whether it might include more seasons of the “bold and revisionist take on well-loved Arthurian legends”. His answer certainly gives hope for more!
ESQ: You’ve played a doctor, a high school teacher, and now a king – what’s next?
IDC: It’s really hard to plan ahead in terms of what you would like to do. Right now I’m just really excited for the show to come out. We worked really hard on it, I can’t wait to see what people think of it. I love it. I also know that the writers are back busily writing season two. Nothing is confirmed yet but we’re all really excited about the prospect of getting back on the saddle, literally and metaphorically.

ITVX, which produced the series in cooperation with Bad Wolf TV, will release all episodes in the UK on 21 December 2023.
Avid book readers will know that Sansum plays an important role in Enemy of Godand Excalibur, the follow-up books to The Winter King, so we’re keeping our fingers and toes crossed that Andrew Gower will be able to reprise his role in future seasons!
Travis Beacham already teased that S3 of Impact Winter is in development and that he is back in London using #ImpactWinter, so could this be about a different, new project? Maybe it is connected to this post from 14 November 2023?
Get ready for Gustaffson‘s final gig for 2023! It takes place at The 100 Club in London on a very special date: Andrew Gower‘s 34th birthday!
They will be joined on stage by Kieran Hodgson, who Scarleteers will recognize from his memorable guest appearance as Rupert Parker’s special friend Dr. Moorhouse in Miss Scarlet & The Duke‘s initial season.
Scottish singer/songwriter and composer Genevieve Dawson will be another special guest for the evening which is hosted by British actor and presenter Cel Spellman.
Andrew Gower was a guest at The Blue Room, a free Podcast for fans of English football club FC Everton, again and you can listen to the interview below.
Host Dave Downie talked with Andrew, a passionate Evertonian, all about his astonishing career in TV and stage, along with his brilliant performances with his band Gustaffson.
AG: I’d say our music is a blend of Rock, Folk and more recently Soul/Funk (a sign of things too come), but the foundation of all of our music is definitely in the story telling. With every song we think about our audience. What story do we want to tell them, lyrically and musically. How do we want to present it and serve it up without spoon feeding them. The best stories don’t have to be explained. Which I guess is what makes them universal.
UL: What’s your process for writing and creating music?
AG: Our process of writing music is forever changing. I think at its heart is collaboration. I’ve been writing lyrics since I was 15 and each story or song is always brought to life by the collaboration process. They are like little stories or scripts I carry around with me. They can be inspired by an instrument, a riff, a producer or even a piece of artwork. I’ve watched a lot of films of late and gone in the studio the next day with a clear idea for a song. That’s what I love about writing music – there’s no right or wrong way to do it.
The Winter King, which premiered last Sunday on MGM+ to overwhelmingly positive reviews, has found a home in Germany.
German Telekom’s Magenta TV will show the episodes in early 2024. While no exact release date has been given so far, speculation points to January 2024.
„The Winter King“ basiert auf der „Warlord Chronicles“-Serie von Bernard Cornwell (The Last Kingdom), das als Mischung aus historischer Fiktion und Legende beschrieben wird. „The Winter King“ spielt im fünften Jahrhundert, lange Zeit bevor Großbritannien vereinigt wurde, einem brutalen Land, das aus verschiedenen Fraktionen und Stämmen bestand. Im Zentrum geht es um Arthur Pendragon, der sich vom Außenseiter zum legendären Krieger und Anführer entwickelt.
The Winter King premiered on 20 August 2023 on MGM+ (USA), on 21 August 2023 on Stan (Australia) and will be released on 10 September on Crave (Canada) as well as “later this year” (rumours pointing towards Decemer) on ITVX (UK).
ETA (21 November 2023):
TV Wunschliste reported today that the episodes will be available on MagentaTV in Germany on 01 January 2024. What a way to start the new year!
In Australia streaming service Stan will show the episodes on Mondays, the day after the USA while Canadians fans can enjoy the revisionist take on the Arthurian legend on Crave starting on 10 September 2023.
Andrew’s British fans will have to wait a little longer. So far ITVX has not announced a release date but rumour has it placed in December 2023.
