The BBC series didn’t exactly bring “magical” ratings to NBC during its short run last summer but Merlin’s second season will still be seen here in the states.
Merlin follows the life of the legendary wizard in early adulthood, living in the court of King Uther, Arthur’s father. The series stars Colin Morgan as Merlin, Bradley James as Prince Arthur, Anthony Head as King Uther, Katie McGrath as Morgana, Angel Coulby as Gwen, Richard Wilson as Gaius, and John Hurt as the voice of the Great Dragon.
A production of BBC One, Merlin has been a big enough success in the UK to be renewed for seasons two and three. NBC picked up the supernatural show and decided to run the first season during the summer of 2009. The ratings weren’t very good and the network has been mum on any plans to bring it back.

Now, there’s word that Merlin is indeed coming back to the US — but not on NBC. Word is that Syfy (also owned by NBC Universal) will begin airing season two of Merlin on Friday, April 2nd; paired with the returning Stargate Universe.
If you need a refresher on season one, Syfy will be airing the episodes during an all-day marathon on March 28th. You can also purchase the official DVD release
What do you think? Are you glad to hear Merlin is returning to the US? Does it matter to you that it’s on Syfy and not NBC?
PLease do not cancel give it a chance to catch on more.I as well as others think it is entertaning to watch!
I truly admire this show and enjoyed watching it. I’ve only watched this show on Syfy and looking foward to the next season. Bring it back with the same cast of actors.

Merlin is a great show. My husband and I looked forward to seeing it weekly. It seems like the good shows get cancelled. No swearing or sex. I guess that makes a bad show. Not in my book.

I am hoping that there will be a season 3. Please don’t leave us hanging.

My daughter and I just all of the sudden got hooked on Merlin. It was on our Netflix selection. We love it, and want to see more shows. Please don’t cancel….
