Merlin co-creator Johnny Capps has dropped some more hints on Series 5.

Speaking to Fictionalfrontiers, Capps said we can expect an even darker series and promised more of the Arthurian legends will be explored.

“We’re going to see an older and wiser Merlin that is wrestling between making some very, very difficult decisions and having to tread a very careful path between what is good and what is bad,” he explained.

Asked if it was too late for Morgana to find redemption now, he teased, “You’ll have to find out.”

The show will open with another two-parter, written by Julian Jones, and is expected to air on BBC1 this Autumn.
