Merlin WILL be back

 

Saturday evening family-drama Merlin will return to BBC One next year for a new season.

The BBC has re-commissioned Merlin for a second season which will air on BBC One next year. The fantasy drama series has performed well for BBC One on Saturday evenings despite an ever changing time-slot and being up against The X-Factor. A caption card at the end of Saturday’s episode, the season one finale, confirmed to viewers the series would return. The second series will start filming early next year and it’s expected all of the main-cast will return.

The series was produced for the BBC by Shine Television, who were behind Sky One’s supernatural series Hex, and has already been sold to a number of countries including America where it will be shown on NBC.
