Merlin showrunner Julian Murphy has spoken about season 5 in a new interview! Read his teasers for Merlin and Arthur’s new adventures, but beware of mild spoilers.
In the interview with SciFiNow, Murphy says:
We’re very interested in Merlin’s development, and Arthur as the king of the Round Table and that legend. The fully fledged Camelot is something we’re getting towards, and that opens up a whole raft of legends and possibilities.
On Merlin embracing his darker side and becoming more like Emrys:
I think it’s interesting because you saw a glimpse at the end of last series, particularly when he killed Agravaine, where he was becoming a much more stronger, focused and powerful character, and we’re really interested in taking him on that journey with all its dangers and the temptations it will bring, so that will be a big part of the fifth series.
He also discusses Morgana:
She’s growing into a stronger and more committed enemy than ever before. The stakes are becoming higher now that Arthur is king and the future of Albion is being created. There’s more for Merlin to fight for and more for him to protect.
