The BBC confirmed today that they are bringing the cast back to film a final series that addresses the gaps we felt for so long. Seeing Merlin and Arthur return feels like closure for a story that shaped my childhood. I am beyond grateful to everyone who helped prove that …
The BBC Series ' Merlin' first aired on the 20th of September 2008 on BBC One.
The show revolves around Merlin, who is a young wizard who arrives in the kingdom of Camelot after his mother arranges for him to stay with the court physician, Gaius. He discovers that the king, Uther Pendragon, has outlawed magic and imprisoned the last Great Dragon deep under the kingdom. The Dragon tells Merlin that he plays an important role: to protect Uther's son, Arthur, who will bring forth a great kingdom. When Merlin meets Arthur, he believes that he is an arrogant bully and Arthur, likewise, has a less than stellar opinion of Merlin. But when Uther's actions cause his ward Morgana to turn against Camelot, Merlin must ally himself with the Once and Future King to save the kingdom and help Arthur fufill his prophecy.
The show ended on the 24th of December 2012, after 5 years. I and many other Merlin fans believe that the ending didn't highlight the work of Merlin and seemed almost rushed.
We are asking the BBC for another series of the show to clear up any misconceptions and eventually lay the show to rest.
I still watch the final episodes and wonder how such a legendary story was allowed to fade away so quietly. Reading your memories of how this show shaped your own lives reminds me exactly why we deserve a proper conclusion to Merlin's journey.

Seeing this momentum grow proves I am not the only one who felt that final episode left so much of Arthur and Merlin's story unfinished. It has been years since we first saw that ending, but the passion keeping this demand alive reminds me why I grew to love Camelot in the first place.

You can't give a show such an open-ended resolution and expect that something like doesn't happen. I mean, c'mon. C'MON.

All we need is one more season, or a spin off series. Now that the initial 'Merlin is a sorcerer' discovery, the show will have a LOT more to go off and will draw in many more watchers. This is a good plan. Please consider bringing Merlin back, even if it's present day!
