NBC cancelled the Merlin back in 2009 due to low ratings but the show’s been doing well for Syfy. Season four is currently running on the cable channel and Syfy has the option to pick up season five. If you’ve fallen a bit behind on your Merlin episodes, here’s a chance to catch up.
In season three of Merlin, there’s lots more magic, adventure and romance. The young legendary wizard (Colin Morgan) continues to hone his skills and secretly protect his friend Prince Arthur (Bradley James) from harm. That’s not easy considering that King Uther (Anthony Head) has redoubled his war against magic — including threats from duplicitous Morgana (Katie McGrath).
