'The Winter King' Concludes First Season, Sets Stage for Epic Battle

ITVX's Arthurian drama ends with a cliffhanger, leaving viewers in anticipation for the next season.

ITVX's new series 'The Winter King', adapted from Bernard Cornwell's Arthurian novels, has concluded its first season, leaving viewers in anticipation for the next.
The series portrays Arthur Pendragon, played by Iain De Caestecker, as a centrist progressive leader, striving to unite Britain's disunited kingdoms.
Arthur's character is contrasted with Uhtred from 'The Last Kingdom', another adaptation of Cornwell's novels, with Arthur bearing greater responsibilities and making decisions that affect the fate of the whole nation.
The first season ends with Arthur, Nimue, and Derfel on the Isle of the Dead, setting the stage for a potential major battle in the next season.
The creative team behind the show hopes for a five-season run, with the first season covering about two-thirds of the first book in Cornwell's trilogy.
