Young Merlin, sent by his mother from their village to start a better life, arrives in Camelot where he is to be apprenticed to Gaius, physician to the repressive King Uther. Uther, believing all magic evil, has made it punishable by death, so when Gaius finds that Merlin has magical, telekinetic powers, he agrees to keep the boy’s secret.
Since Merlin ended in 2012, its loyal fans have had their fingers crossed for a reboot, a film, a reunion. Basically anything which equals more of the Saturday night fantasy series.
“They are some of the best friends I’ve made while being an actor. They’re the ones I still keep in touch with. I’m so, so grateful to Merlin for giving me so many great opportunities and because I got to meet amazing people.”

He does warn fans, “Don’t hold your breath!” but adds: “Even just to get in a room with them again and reminisce, talk about that amazing job, would be lovely.”
“Every year on the day that Merlin was created and also on the day that Merlin finished, the fans come out in their droves and they celebrate the show. Some people are still messaging me pretty much every day saying, ‘Are we going to get a season six?’ I love it.
Vlahos, who stars in upcoming BBC2 period drama Versailles, does admit that there was a time when the attention from Merlin fans was quite intense: “While the show was on I couldn’t get on the tube without people telling me they couldn’t wait for Saturday night.”
Especially when the final, fatal episode aired…
“I’m to blame, specifically me,” he laughs. “Me and Mordred are to blame for killing King Arthur and ruining their favourite TV show. So that was a thing that followed me around for a while as well.”
But, now, the 27-year-old calls the role of Morded “a blessing.”
“The Merlin fans are the best example of a fandom,” he continues. “They love the show and follow our careers endlessly. Merlin will be something that will stay with me forever and I don’t find it a burden. I welcome it
