Merlin: Season Three Debuts January 7th on Syfy [release]

by Trevor Kimball, December 9, 2010

King Arthur on MerlinAs we reported last month, the third season of Merlin is kicking off on Syfy on Friday, January 7, 2011. There are 13 episodes in this season and Merlin has already been renewed for a fourth season of 10 episodes by the BBC. The BBC is supposedly already talking about possible specials and/or a fifth season.

Here in the states, Syfy will likely wait to see how season three performs before purchasing the rights to any more.

Here’s the press release from Syfy…

THE MAGIC OF CAMELOT RETURNS WITH SEASON THREE PREMIERE OF MERLIN FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, AT 10PM ON SYFY

NEW YORK – December 8, 2010 – The magic is back! The popular series Merlin, starring Colin Morgan, Bradley James and Anthony Head, returns for a third season on Syfy beginning Friday, January 7, at 10PM (ET/PT), immediately following tag team partner WWE Friday Night Smackdown.

The second season of Merlin, which concluded in June, averaged 1.72 million total viewers and a 1.3 HH rating, based on Live +7 DVR data.

Season three sees The young wizard Merlin (Colin Morgan) in increasingly more dangerous and dark battles in his secret quest to protect Prince Arthur (Bradley James) in the fabled kingdom of Camelot, where magic is forbidden by King Uther (Anthony Head). They rejoin Katie McGrath, who portrays the mesmerizing Morgana — who has a dark destiny of her own — Angel Coulby as her loyal maid Gwen, and Richard Wilson as wise Court physician Gaius. The new season finds Camelot’s heroes pushed to their limits as the kingdom is thrown into turmoil by the return of Morgana from a year’s absence.

A host of new guest stars joins the regular cast to enthrall audiences over the 13-week run.
Harry Melling (The Harry Potter Series) portrays Gilli, Warwick Davis (The Harry Potter Series, The Chronicles of Narnia) will play Grettir, Miriam Margoyles (The Harry Potter Series, Being Julia) will play Grunhilda, and Mark Williams (The Harry Potter Series, The Fast Show) is the voice of a mischievous Goblin. Guest stars from the previous season such as Emilia Fox (The Pianist, Ballet Shoes) who plays Morgause, and Santiago Cabrera (Heroes, Che), who plays Launcelot, will also be returning.

Legendary actor John Hurt once again provides the Voice of the Great Dragon.

FME has also secured licensing deals to produce numerous multi-territory Merlin branded products including a publishing range, figurines and an iphone application. FME has invested in the Merlin series alongside UK broadcaster BBC One. The show is produced and created by Shine TV. Series three is currently broadcast in the UK.

Great news but I’m not thrilled with the WWE lead-in. Totally different crowd. Don’t think that will help the ratings so we may have to hunt around to view season 4. This is a great show and the writing and guest cast keeps getting better.
