One of the big news items to come out of Comic-Con 2012, is the BBC and Syfy series MERLIN is getting ready to develop a trilogy of theatrical films based on the TV series which is heading into its fifth season.
Though co-creator and executive producer Johnny Capps isn’t sure which form they will take, he talk a little bit about the plan.
“We’re in discussions with BBC about Season 6, but we’re talking about the movies,” says Capps. “We’re hopefully going to do a trilogy – three movies. We will focus on them when we finish Season 5.”
The MERLIN movies could potentially re-tell the MERLIN story by focusing on storylines not included in the first five (or six) seasons.
“One idea we’ve been playing around with is to reboot the whole series [for the films],” says Capps. “We would go back in time and start the story again and show different parts that you didn’t see in the series. The other idea is to do a continuation, but we haven’t decided yet.”

This is brilliant news! Movies and a season 6? I’m so happy about this! 😀
Sounds awesome!
But I really hope it’s a continuation!
I really hope we get a season six and the movies are a continuation. I like things going forward and finding out what happens next. I wouldn’t mind if the first movie was a prequel though, about before the great purge and during. Im just so happy they are getting movies though, I don’t want this series to end!

I want season 6 more than movies.
Wow,season 6 and movies of Merlin! Sounds too good to be true…I hope they’re telling the truth because productions like that needs big fanbase. And I really hope Merlin continues to grow,I saw that the audience for the show is growing! especially in UK! Fingers crossed for Merlin,the best show ever!
Its sad because (Me and most people in the USA) watch this show on netflix and the views dont count for the show this way
ya same…. But if they don’t bring it back we can always hope someone here in the USA will
I hope it is a prequel showing why Merlins mother sent him to camelot in the first place
I hope that the first movie is about the war between uther and magic when it first started with the big war and what not. Also that there has to be a continuation to the show… don’t do a reboot just continue it.
Hope they have season 6, really into it, love the story.
