The Last Kingdom Season 1

BlueBolt’s work on Carnival Film’s The Last Kingdom was recognised with a BAFTA Television Craft Award. The historical fiction series is set in the 10th century AD when England is divided into seven separate kingdoms and the Anglo-Saxon lands are gradually plundered and ruled by the Viking Danes.

The show was an eight-year, continued close collaboration between BlueBolt and Carnival Films to recreate the Dark Ages world in which the series is set. BlueBolt has worked on all five seasons and the special feature-length finale since it first aired in 2015, providing environment work to turn Budapest into period Britain, complex CG battling armies and horses, CG ships at sea and plenty of gore.
