The producer of BBC One’s Merlin has revealed what fans can expect from the show’s third series.
Speaking to SFX, Johnny Capps admitted that Arthur is unlikely to discover Merlin’s true magical nature in the forthcoming episodes.
He explained: “I think that part of the format of the show is that Merlin keeps his magic a secret, just as Superman keeps his identity secret – and I think Arthur not knowing about it is the heart of the show.
“Presumably at some point Arthur would find out, but I think that would be very late on.”
Capps also revealed that the fate of Morgana, played by Katie McGrath, will be explored.
“Within the first five minutes you catch up as to where our characters have been. Camelot has been very focused on the search for Morgana, and Uther has been very concerned about where his ward is.” he said. “But when she comes back it’s very intriguing as to where her allegiances lie and what’s happened to her. She’s been on quite a journey.”
Emilia Fox, who previously appeared as Morgana’s villainous half-sister Morgause, will also return for the new run.
The third series of Merlin will air on BBC One later this year.
