“This is the best quarantine news ever,” a Twitter user wrote.

One fan wishes the series would drop the new season now since we’re all stuck at home anyways. “But we’re all home, we want to see it now,” the user said.

Other users seem to agree with the sentiment. Season 4 can’t get here fast enough during this time. “They need to drop this sooner, it’s not like we got anything else to do,” another user agreed.

Fans are ‘excited’ for season 4 to drop on Netflix

Numerous others are ecstatic for the new season to get here. “Yas!!! I’m so excited! I’ve been waiting for it to come back,” another Twitter user said.

A fan of the series says this news can really cheer everyone up during this time of social distancing. “This is fantastic news!! Thank you. Something to cheer us all up,” they wrote.

Another fan thinks it’s awesome news and gives them something to do. “Awesome! I can binge while under quarantine,” the user suggested.

Fans are more than a little excited for season 4 to finally drop. “So excited to see, since shut-in I have been catching up. Still miss Ubba. But can’t wait to see season 4,” the Twitter user wrote.

The news of the season 4 release of The Last Kingdom couldn’t come at a more perfect time, unless it was possibly dropped earlier. Fans are ready to catch back up with their favorite characters and take their mind off the coronavirus for a few hours.
