Nathaniel Martello-White, praised for his fresh portrayal of Merlin, is also expected to return in the second season.

The diverse ensemble features talents like Jordan Alexandra, Valene Kane, Stuart Campbell, Eddie Marsden, Andrew Gower, Simon Merrells, and Ellie James. While familiar faces will likely return, new additions are also anticipated, keeping fans in suspense until official announcements are made.

Although the second season's release date is still unknown, fans have much to ponder over the unfolding plot of The Winter King Season 2. There's a lot to unravel in the next season, even if we don't know when it'll hit our screens. The anticipation is soaring, and viewers are ready for more twists and turns.


The Winter King Season 1: Setting the Stage for The Winter King Season 2 in Arthur's Epic Journey

MGM+ viewers are eager for The Winter King Season 2, and it's not just about the cast. The show's storyline seamlessly fits the small screen, with audiences embracing the mix of Arthurian myth and actual events like the arrival of Christianity in the British Isles and the changes in Anglo-Saxon Britain.

The plot proceeds as the main character, Derfel Cadarn, tells the story. He's an old monk, having turned to Christianity after years of being a warrior in Arthur's service, a legendary warlord who fought to safeguard the kingdom of Dumnonia. In the Dinnewrac monastery, Queen Igraine urges Derfel to share his tales of encountering the famous heroes of Arthurian legend.

Aware that his stern master, Bishop Sansum, can't read, Derfel pretends to write a Christian gospel. Most of the story unfolds in flashbacks to Derfel's youth, with breaks to the present-day monastery setting.

Season finales usually bring closure and excitement, but The Winter King Season 1 ended more like a setup for The Winter King Season 2.

After rescuing Derfel and Nimue, Arthur heads to Dumnonia to take on Aelle and push the Saxons out. This plot is likely to take center stage in Season 2. However, in the end, there's an intriguing hint – Merlin finds the ancient Horn of Bran, only to discover it's filled with blood. This suggests that the show's future won't be smooth sailing but instead filled with unexpected and intense twists.


The Winter King depicts a story loosely linking the legendary tales of Arthur and Camelot with the fascinating setting of Dark Age Britain. The show adds its unique touch to the well-known story, promising viewers an exciting roller coaster that takes them to a world where magic and history meet in anticipation of awaited season 2.
