The series, set in Camelot, has King Arthur at the top of his game with his Queen Guinevere and the Knights of the Round Table solidly backing him. But "the seeds of its destruction are being sown. As the forces of darkness gather, only Merlin stands between Arthur and a fate that has been written since the dawn of time," according to NBC press information.

Returning for the final 13 episodes of the hit BBC One drama will be stars Colin Morgan as Merlin, Bradley James as Arthur, Katie McGrath as Morgana, Angel Coulby as Gwen, Richard Wilson as Gaius, John Hurt as the voice of the dragon and Alexander Vlahos as Mordred.

Guest-starring this season will be Lindsay Duncan, Janet Montgomery, Liam Cunningham, Josette Simon, Sophie Rundle and the return of Anthony Head as Uther Pendragon.

The fantasy drama is based on the legend of England's King Arthur and the sorcerer Merlin.

Rita Sherrow grew up with TV. Yes, it was the ever-present “sister” from another techno mother. At first look, it was instant "Like." From then on, the TV had to be on in every room while she studied, elementary school through college. An Air Force brat, she attended school in three states (Oklahoma, Montana and Georgia) and two foreign countries (Germany and Bermuda) and graduated from Broken Arrow High School and the University of Tulsa with a degree in journalism/advertising. She first interned in the advertising world but, when a J-School professor (who also covered politics for the Tulsa World) offered her an internship at the newspaper, she took him up on it. The rest is history. She has served as bridal editor, senior features writer for the women’s section, food editor and is television editor of the Tulsa World. In addition to writing about TV shows and interviewing the stars for “Scene” stories, she also writes a TV column for Weekend and produces the Sunday TV World listings magazine.
