For three series Merlin has had to keep his magic a secret from Arthur. Now, with Arthur finally king in Series 4, isn’t it about time he found out the truth?

Merlin himself, Colin Morgan, has hinted that we may be getting somewhat of a answer to that question.

“In the first three series Merlin had to keep the magic secret, but we’ve moved on hugely from that,” Morgan told the Daily Record. “This series is about whether people will want to learn more about him.”

“The timing of whether Merlin admits to magic has to be right. The question is, is it the right time? And it is definitely answered in this series.”
