User blog:Dryuuu/CONFIRMED air date + episode title + more!

Finally! The air date, October 6!

The opening episode will be called "Arthur's Bane: (Part One and Part Two)" and will be a two-parter. It was officially announced by a trustworthy source on Twitter, but the link didn't work when I clicked it, perhaps it was taken down but it is definitely October 6! Hands in the air!

Opening two-parter information.


We know that the first episode will take place in the Northern Plains, and will involve all of the usual main cast, and Mordred, the new character Ruadan, as well as two new monsters... We know one of them is definitely a magic wolf. Oh, and there'll be lots of sword fighting and toplessness.

The other monster is yet to be revealed but I strongly speculate it will be some kind of octapus or even a 'kraken'. Proof? I got early access to the Merlin Game and on the world map it featured every monster we've seen, including the new grown-up Aithusa (I'm keeping my cards close to my chest on this one, though), but a new one- some sort of giant tentacled creature. Check it out below:



As for the plot, if you've seen the trailer (which seems heavily based on the opening two-parter, like the Series 4 trailers were with The Darkest Hour), it will involve the bad guys searching for Arthur's Bane. We have no idea what that is. Some speculate Mordred. It appears to be a ghost in the trailer, though. Could it be some form of energy? According to the trailer, though, once it's discovered Arthur's end is near! Oh no!

We'll keep you updated as more information comes out.
