What Is It?
Britannia is an epic fantasy series set it Celtic England at the time that the Romans invaded the country. Following is the official synopsis for the second season of the show:
In the show’s second season, two years on from invading Britannia, General Aulus (played by David Morrissey) is romanising willing Celt tribes with the help of Celtic Queen Amena (Annabel Scholey) and crushing those who try to resist. Aulus’s behaviour raises suspicions that he has another agenda; one that raises ghosts in Amena’s past and makes his threat to the Druids ever more critical.
The only form of hope for the Druids and Celts is Cait (Eleanor Worthington Cox) a young girl being trained by outcast Druid Divis (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) to fulfil a prophecy that would save Britannia from the Romans. But when the dead man wakes, two Druid brothers – Veran (Mackenzie Crook) and Harka begin an epic battle of wills that divides the Druids and puts the prophecy in jeopardy.

Status
This series has flown mostly under the rader, but it has been fairly well received by critics as it currently has a 74% Fresh Rating on Rotten Tomatoes for its first season. It’s status is probably influenced as much by its viewership across the pond as its views on Prime Video. A third season could be possible for this one, but don’t be surprised if it wraps up around that point. You can keep up with status updates on the show during the season at the show’s page on this site.
