How many episodes are in season 2 of Kingdom?


The new should be made up of seven episodes, with all seven episodes dropping at the same time. 
Each episode is just under an hour long so fans will have the opportunity to binge watch this series over a weekend. 
This series will contain an extra episode compared to the last series, which was split into six parts. 
The show is exclusively available on Netflix and fans will be able to download the episodes on the app so they can watch them on the go. 
Unfortunately it means the show is not available to view on any other streaming platforms at the moment. 

Netflix gave a synopsis for the series, which said: “In a kingdom defeated by corruption and famine, a mysterious rumor of the king’s death spreads.

“As does a strange plague that renders the infected immune to death and hungry for flesh. 
“The crown prince, fallen victim to a conspiracy, sets out on a journey to unveil the evil scheme and save his people.”
An official series two trailer has been released and shows plenty of blood, gore and zombies. 
In the trailer a voice is heard saying: “This time, we will stop it. We must stop it at all costs.” 
There are clips of helpless fighters trying to run away from hoards of zombies who are just as fast as them.
