Merlin producer Julian Murphy has confirmed that talks are ongoing about a potential fifth series.

Last November, Murphy first suggested that the fantasy drama could return for two more series.

He recently told CultBox: “We do have a general idea of what would happen in series five. We’ve always known a long while ahead where we wanted to go.”

He also suggested that the show is unlikely to lose any regular cast members in the foreseeable future.

“I don’t think we’re likely to lose anyone in the cast that’s key to our developing story,” he said. “We know where we’re headed and I don’t think anything particularly will stand in the way.”

Murphy also revealed that a number of possible Merlin spinoff projects have been discussed, including a cartoon.

“It’s very early days, but there are thoughts and ideas,” he said. “I think it’d be very interesting to explore. Something we’ve discussed, which would have to happen after the series had come to an end, is an animated series.”

What do medieval princes and knights do when they’re not at work? They play football of course!

The cast and crew of BBC fantasy drama Merlin were filming at Cosmeston recently – and while at their evening camp at Sully Sports club last Wednesday, they joined in for a kick-about with youngsters from the U11s Snappers team who were training at the time.

Prince Arthur, played by Bradley James, plus his Knights of Camelot, Gwaine (Eoin Macken) and Percival (Tom Hopper), brought a bit of medieval magic to the evening for the youngsters.

Bradley (aka Prince Arthur) even talked about the impromptu football match on Twitter, telling his thousands of followers all about the warm welcome he had received in Sully.

The boys had great fun with the Stars of the hit series who had a bit of time on their hands before shooting scenes at the Medievil village at Cosmeston for the new series due to run in September.

Episode 3.01 – “The Tears of Uther Pendragon – Part 1″: Merlin and Arthur have been on many quests in search of the missing Lady Morgana. The despondent Prince is all but ready to give up. But as they recover from their latest skirmish a bruised, bloodied figure emerges from the mist… it is the Lady Morgana.

King Uther is overjoyed, but then starts to lose his mind. Merlin thinks that magic is the cause; could this be the work of his dutiful ward? The young warlock puts himself in grave danger trying to find out whose side Morgana is really on.

Bradley and Colin Morgan were on BBC’s The One Show today and BJsRealm has kindly uploaded it to YouTube for all Merlin/Bradley fans!

I haven’t watched any of the recent interviews yet to avoid Merlin spoilers (I still have to catch up, booo) but I can’t wait to watch them soon!
