Merlin News: Episodes 1 & 2 Synopses Released

Find out what's to come in the opening two-parter of Series Five!
The BBC have this week released press synopses for the first and second episodes of Merlin's fifth season. Titled Arthur's Bane, this two-part opener takes the fantasy show to dark new territory, as Arthur and Merlin are forced to investigate what Mordred and Morgana have been plotting in the North in the three years that have passed since Series Four. What can we expect from Episodes 1 & 2? Find out below...

  • ARTHUR'S BANE: PART 1- Arthur has never felt stronger, with Queen Guinneviere and the Knights of the Round Table at his side. But even as Camelot flowers, so the seeds of her destruction are being sewn. For in the Frozen Wastelands of the North, men are disappearing without trace. In search of answers, King Arthur and his Knights must undertake a mission into the unknown.
  • ARTHUR'S BANE: PART 2- Ancient prophecies on Mordred way heavy on Merlin, for not even he can sway Arthur from his chosen path. As dawn breaks across the icy tundra, Merlin and Arthur are close to exhaustion. With each tortured step, the fortress of Ismere looms ever nearer and Merlin's fear intensifies. What game is Mordred playing? And what powerful secrets are Morgana and the druid Ruadan searching for amongst its twisted catacombs? It seems like this time, not even Merlin can stop Arthur from entering the lion's den...For in this bleak and transient wilderness, only one thing is certain: the great trial of Albion has begun.
Merlin returns on BBC1 next Saturday in Arthur's Bane: Part 1 at 7.35pm.
