NEW YORK, NY — The magic is back! The popular series "Merlin," starring Colin Morgan, Bradley James and Anthony Head, returns for a third season on Syfy beginning Friday, January 7, at 10PM (ET/PT), immediately following tag team partner "WWE Friday Night SmackDown."
The second season of "Merlin," which concluded in June, averaged 1.72 million total viewers and a 1.3 HH rating, based on Live +7 DVR data.
Season three sees the young wizard Merlin (Colin Morgan) in increasingly more dangerous and dark battles in his secret quest to protect Prince Arthur (Bradley James) in the fabled kingdom of Camelot, where magic is forbidden by King Uther (Anthony Head). They rejoin Katie McGrath, who portrays the mesmerizing Morgana—who has a dark destiny of her own—Angel Coulby as her loyal maid Gwen, and Richard Wilson as wise Court physician Gaius. The new season finds Camelot's heroes pushed to their limits as the kingdom is thrown into turmoil by the return of Morgana from a year's absence.
A host of new guest stars joins the regular cast to enthrall audiences over the 13-week run. Harry Melling ("Harry Potter" movies) portrays Gilli, Warwick Davis ("Harry Potter" movies, "The Chronicles of Narnia") will play Grettir, Miriam Margoyles ("Harry Potter" movies, "Being Julia") will play Grunhilda, and Mark Williams ("Harry Potter" movies, "The Fast Show") is the voice of a mischievous Goblin. Guest stars from the previous season such as Emilia Fox ("The Pianist," "Ballet Shoes") who plays Morgause, and Santiago Cabrera ("Heroes," "Che"), who plays Launcelot, will also be returning.
Legendary actor John Hurt once again provides the Voice of the Great Dragon.
