BBC、FX将联合打造剧集版《远大前程》。斯蒂文·奈特(《浴血黑帮》)操刀剧本，雷德利·斯科特、汤姆·哈迪担任执行制作人，剧集共6集。该剧改编自查尔斯·狄更斯创作的同名经典小说，故事背景为1812年圣诞节前夕至1840年冬天，主角孤儿皮普(Pip)以自传式手法，叙述从7岁开始的三个人生阶段。

　　《贪婪》和《难得幸福》的Steve Coogan确认出演BBC1台的剧情剧《清算》（The Reckoning），挑战一个充满争议的“丑闻型”故事。
　　这个项目从2020年10月确认开发时就曾经遭到质疑，但如今随着Steve将领衔主演的选角确认，该剧依然在轨道上保持运行。
　　剧集聚焦了Jimmy Savile的故事，作为初代唱片骑师、资深音乐节目主持的电视名人，Jimmy曾经享受了许多成就，也获得过大英帝国勋章的表彰；但在2011年于84岁去世之后，2012年一个纪录片展开的调查却揭开了更丑陋的事实：从上世纪六十年代起，他开始有对未成年人进行不当接触的行为。而BBC的默许以及彼时糟糕的业态文化，让他更加肆无忌惮，将魔爪伸向了更多的年轻女性，甚至是75岁的精神障碍患者；超过450人就其的行为展开了投诉与报告。而2016年的一次调查显示，有11位受害者甚至年龄小于12岁。
　　曾经与Steve在《斯坦和奥利》合作过、也同样担任本剧主创的编剧Jeff Pope，认为这是个值得重述的故事。它不仅仅关于恶行，也会去审视为何Jimmy能够在生前相干无事。BBC的戏剧部门也提到了此次剧作化的意义，表示这将会是一个回顾自身的机会，也要让更多人的声音可以被听到。

　　这一季对应原著小说第九部和第十部，主人公乌特雷德将夺回祖传领地——贝班堡。

　　这一季对应原著小说第七部和第八部，主人公乌特雷德尝试夺回贝班堡未果，后又卷入麦西亚君位之争，并再次面对丹麦人入侵。

　　年轻勇士Uhtred的亲生父母均死于入侵者维京人之手，而年幼的他被维京人抚养长大。为了夺回亡国故土，他游走于敌对双方之间，踏上了危险的征程。 第三季中，Alfred大帝油尽灯枯，但他依旧没有放弃统一英格兰的梦想。Uhtred临危受命迎战新敌人——丹麦战神Sigrid。而老王日薄西山、国家腹背受敌之际，继承人Aethelwold却对王位毫无兴趣，权力更替困难的真空期似乎是Uhtred不可错失的好机会……可他会背叛Alfred大帝吗？

　　Filming has started on BBC Two’s critically acclaimed drama The Last Kingdom, from Carnival Films. The second series, adapted by BAFTA-nominated and RTS award-winning writer Stephen Butchard from Bernard Cornwell’s bestselling series of novels, is to return to BBC Two next year, with Netflix joining as a co-production partner.
　　The emotionally complex and compelling landscape of revenge, rivalry, hostility, corruption, love, sex, loyalty and friendship, forms the backdrop to a gripping adventure based on Cornwell's novels, The Lords Of The North and Sword Song – part of the hugely popular bestselling franchise The Last Kingdom.
　　Set in the year 878, the second series returns as fearless and instinctive warrior Uhtred continues his fight for his native land of Northumbria. Uhtred, having given his sword to King Alfred, despite his upbringing by the invading pagan Danes, embarks on his voyage north to reclaim his own fate: to avenge Earl Ragnar’s death and recapture his ancestral lands of Bebbanburg.
　　Alfred’s conviction to create a united England is stronger than ever, and he sets his sights on the wild lands of the north, which have fallen into chaos and rebellion. It is a dangerous time for Saxon and Dane alike, but Alfred champions a new king - a Christian Dane - to unite the tribes. However, this king has been enslaved, and Uhtred becomes embroiled in a rescue mission, which brings him face to face with an enemy of old.
