Sadly, Series 5 is the last. The show ended in 2012. There were discussions about there being sixth series early on, but these fell through. Contrary to common misconception, this had nothing to do with the BBC. They had offered the producers of Merlin a sixth series because it was a ratings success here over in the UK. Later Bradley James revealed in an interview that he did not want to carry on beyond Series 5, and recasting was out of the role of Arthur was out of the question, so the show came to an end.
