Britannia will not be returning for a fourth season. The historical fiction drama, which aired on Sky in the UK and EPIX (now MGM+) in the United States, has been cancelled, leaving a significant cliffhanger unresolved, per Deadline.
Starring Kelly Reilly, David Morrissey, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Liana Cornell, Gershwyn Eustache Jnr, Mackenzie Crook, Barry Ward, Stanley Weber, Joe Armstrong, Fortunato Cerlino, Callie Cooke, Aaron Pierre, Eleanor Worthington-Cox, Zoë Wanamaker, Ian McDiarmid, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Hugo Speer, Daniel Caltagirone, Zaqi Ismail, and Annabel Schol, the Britannia series is set in the year 43 AD as the Romans invade Britain.
Season three sees a radical transformation in Cait’s (Worthington-Cox) journey as the Chosen One with a decision that ties her to the future of her war-torn people and their ravaged land. Aulus (Morrissey) comes under pressure from a new and dark force – otherwise known as his wife (Okonedo), while Amena (Scholey) finds herself in a lethal ménage à trois with both of them. Divis (Kaas) gets a new job which he despises, and Veran goes to the underworld and sees the future.
The series has ended with its 27th episode. The story ends with a cliffhanger in which Cait (Cox) is betrayed by her mentor, who has wed General Aulus.
The series was created by Jez Butterworth, his brother Tom Butterworth, and James Richardson.
