Today, BBC America revealed the key art for its new original series, The Last Kingdom, and announced that the drama is set for premiere tonight, October 10, 10:00pm ET.

The Last KINGDOM is a contemporary story of redemption, vengeance and self-discovery set against the birth of England. The eight part drama series follows young warrior and outsider, Uhtred (Alexander Dreymon, American Horror Story), on a fierce mission to reclaim his birthright.

The Last KINGDOM comes from the award-winning executive producers of Downton Abbey, Gareth Neame and Nigel Marchant. Adapted from Bernard Cornwell's best-selling series of books "The Saxon Stories," by BAFTA nominated and RTS award-winning writer Stephen Butchard, The Last KINGDOM combines real historical figures and events with fiction, re-telling the history of King Alfred the Great and his desire to unite the many separate kingdoms into what would become England. The Last KINGDOM premieres Saturday, October 10, 10:00pm ET on BBC AMERICA.
