You might not want to believe it, I certainly did not, but it is starting to spread over the internet. ?
BBC One announced that this is Merlin's last Series. ? There will not be a Series 6. ? There are at least three news articles to cite, but TVWise has the most information, including statements from the cast (although, they might need to be verified). ? Well, at least we can enjoy the last five episodes with as much appreciation as I'm sure we each have with the first episode of the beloved show. ? Hopefully, given that there is still a huge following and appreciation for the legend, another production will come around that will deliver the same fantastic entertainment. ? I'm going to still put a glimmer of hope out there that Capps and Murphy will reconsider, or at least make a mini-series or film.?

Executive Producers Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy:
This is the series where the storylines truly reach their apex. We always felt the story of the legend was best told across five series, leading to a spectacular finale that draws on the best known elements of this much-loved story and brings to a conclusion the battle for Camelot. We’d like to thank the amazing cast and crew for their professionalism and dedication, the BBC, FME and all of our partners globally for their incredible support and encouragement across the last five series. But chiefly, our thanks go to Merlin’s remarkable and loyal audience around the world for their enthusiasm for the characters and Camelot universe.
