Merlin stars Katie McGrath and Colin Morgan recently sat down with Entertainment Weekly at this year’s Comic-Con to discuss the eagerly anticipated fifth season of BBC’s hit fantasy series.
In the interview, the stars talked about the three-year time gap between season 4 and 5, saying that the time jump has allowed them to explore their characters in a more adult light.
“We were playing you know, sort of very early twenties at the start. Now, I feel like we’ve all sort of started to play adults which for us, I think is a really great change,” said Katie.
Colin also added that this upcoming season would be more character-driven than the previous four.
“I think it was always gonna be a growing up tale for us, and I think to reach this stage now — there’s not a lot of guest stars [this season]…the stories are more focused on the legends we’re gonna become.”
