Board Thread:Rewatching "Merlin" - Season Five/@comment-95.137.137.127-20140417052210/@comment-24785400-20140419035104

There will not be any more seasons with this cast. They signed a contract with the production company which was for 5 seasons, and fulfilled it. The producers and the writers  behind it are now doing Atlantis for the BBC. I doubt very much that there will be any spin-offs or films or specials  or anything else for this show. (pretty much all of the main cast have said as much in various interviews they have given over the past 18 months or so)

However, there will be more Merlin and Arthur in other forms. Guy Ritchie is reportedly going to direct a trilogy based on Le Mort D'Arthur, and T.A. Barron's Lost Years of Merlin is also undergoing the film treatment. Plus great authors are always re-working the legends and these characters - one of the reasons the legend has lasted as long as it has.
