Britannia Season 4 Plot: New Twists and Exciting Turns!
The conclusion of the third season of Britannia leaves viewers on a suspenseful note with a cliffhanger ending. In this finale, Cait experiences a vision involving Veran and another druid, leading her to travel to Rome. However, her meeting with Lucius takes a tragic turn as he is murdered after divulging crucial information about the spear. The revelation of a traitor adds to the intrigue, culminating in Cait being handed over to Aulus.
Although the third season delivers several revelations, it leaves numerous unanswered questions that could have formed the foundation of an anticipated fourth season had the show been renewed.

Furthermore, it could have delved into her journey to discover the Spear and the potential release of Lokka from within her.
