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.
The 10-part series, which was filmed between July 2022 and January 2023 in Wales and the West Country, premiered on 20 August 2023 on MGM+ in the USA.
It is also available on Crave (Canada), Stan (Australia) and OCS (France). It will be released on Timvision in Italy on 6 December 2023, on Movistar Plus+ in Spain on 29 December 2023 and on Magenta TV in Germany on 01 January 2024.
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!
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.

ITVX has finally revealed a first look at The Winter King, the new series based on Bernard Cornwell‘s Warlord Chronicles, “a bold and revisionist take on well-loved Arthurian legends” which is set to be released later this year on the new British streaming service.
Deadline further announced that MGM+ has boarded the 10-part adaptation and will launch the series on Sunday, 20 August 2023 in the USA. MGM+ Head Michael Wright described The Winter King as a “cinematic and imaginative reinterpretation of the Arthurian legend.”

The Winter King is set in the fifth century, long before Britain was united, in a brutal land of warring factions and tribes, where lives were often fleeting. The series follows Arthur Pendragon as he evolves from outcast to legendary warrior and leader.
As the Netflix hit series The Last Kingdom has come to a final conclusion with the release of the film Seven Kings Must Die, it is time for the cast to pass on the torch to the next adaptation. The Winter King is a 10-part returning series based on the best-selling Warlord Chronicles, a re-telling of the Arthurian legend, by The Last Kingdom author Bernard Cornwell.
In a recent interview with Radio Times Alexander Dreymon, who played The Last Kingdom‘s lead character Uhtred of Bebbanburg, gave some advice to the actors following in his footsteps:
I would say, if there’s any chance for him to meet with and hang out with Bernard Cornwell, I would jump on that chance. First of all, he’s such a wonderful man and great fun to hang out with, but he’s [also] such a wealth of resources. And to build your character, it is such a luxury to have him in your corner.
Twitter user @todbristol shared this first look at Andrew Gower who plays Sansum the Priest, a character who Andrew described as “the Bill Gates of Christianity. He starts out as a nobody with just a seedling of an idea and, I think to a lot of people’s surprise, he becomes a somebody.” (Book of Man Interview)
