+++++ Merlin News ++++++
Season 2 of Merlin starts on BBC 1 on Saturday 12th September. No time slot yet, but I suspect it will be shown sometime between 5 and 7pm
Do you know if that's in the UK or the US? Or both? I have no idea if they run on the same schedule, for some reason I thought the US Merlin was a few episodes behind. (I'm guessing/ hoping I'm wrong)
I don't know about BBC America's schedules, sorry.
It also appears that Merlin isn't in this saturdays lineup, so it's possible someone got the date wrong. I'm guessing it may start the following saturday
Aussie TV only finished Season 1 a month or so ago? I confess, I wasn't really paying that much attention (Merlin to me is like...the King Arthur legend, 'with a younger, edgier cast' :P ) ~:| but my point is, it'll be on in the UK before it lands anywhere else.
I saw a BBC trailer for Merlin last night saying that it was 'coming soon', so i'm guessing at a couple of weeks
OK, Merlin season 2 starts this Saturday on BBC1 at 6.40pm BST
Anyone seen any of the new episodes? Any thoughts?
I'm starting to fall in love with Arthur/Gwen, even though the slasher within my doesn't want to ... :p
I saw most of the first season when it aired in Australia - not that I watched with that much enthusiasm...it was ok but nothing spesh.
I wonder if the next season will be on in Aus soon?
The second season is good so far. The storylines seem to have been ramped-up a bit. Will report more when some more have aired
I have the first few eps of season 2, but I can't seem to get back into it!
Kat: I don't think we'll see an evil Morgana this season, but I think her character is gradually being steered toward its destiny...
I live in the US, and season 2 hasn't aired yet here. But I really liked the 1st season, and I hope its on again this summer.
I just watched the first 5 episodes the other night and LOL OMG MACKENZIE CROOK YAY. I don't know why but I really love that guy, though I don't think he can play evil very well. :P
It has been officially confirmed that Merlin has been picked up for a third season
++++ Season 3 news ++++
The third series starts a year after Morgana's dissapearance, and the series starts off beginning to explain things.
The series will delve more into Morgana's past, and Morgause returns.
We will also find out more about Excalibur and the Lady of The Lake, and be introduced to some more of the people who make up Arthurs round table (Sir Gawain is one of them).
In addition, the origins of the Crystal of Neahtid will be explored as Merlin finds the Crystal Cave, allowing him to see into the future.
The Dragon will also be appearing throughout this season
Merlin will return to BBC One this autumn.
Wow another season, am I missing out? I just couldn't get back into season 2 for some reason, something seemed to be lacking?
YAY! A third season! Can't wait!
i love the merlin series! I think it is a super good idea how they have done it as a tv series and that it is before they were famous, kinda thing. A season three YAYA! i like how they keep to the story line except . . . I don't want Morganna to be evil! And i want to see more of Lancelot even though he was pretty dumb in saying he needs to prove himself. I hate it when characters go all like that! And i want Merlin to tells someone else his secret. ok i think i have rambled on wayy to much! Oh and, wait i will put this in spoiler form.
You know that girl, sorry can't think of her name, the one who turns into a cat? Does anyone else think that she will, somehow, become the lady of the lake?
@BethThere's a girl who turns into a cat?
I didn't really get into season 2 either; and I think the reason for that is that even though they have been twisting the legend; it was all just so incredibly predictable.
Alyse: In season 2 there is this girl who merlin falls in love with and it turns out she is cursed. And at midnight she turns into this panther cat with wings and trys to kill everyone. Did you see that episode?
I do agree with it being really predictable, but i just love the humor! But i do wish they made it less obvious, like you always know that who will die and how they will save someone and stuff like that.
@Beth; I skipped it... I skipped a lot of episodes if they looked too predictable or not interesting enough.
OK, so I got the date slighty wrong...
Merlin Season 3 starts on Saturday 11th September 7.25pm (BST) BBC1
Morgana will become evil. It's her destiny, and according to the Arturian legend, should be a very interesting journey
+++++ Season 4 News ++++++
Merlin returns to BBC1 in October. No exact broadcast date has been given yet.
Also, the BBC has given Merlin a 5th season (before season 4 has been broadcast!)
