We take a look at 5 ways in which Merlin could come back…
Season 6
Could we simply have a direct continuation from where the fifth season left off?
One of the main draws of Merlin for me was people finding out who our titular hero truly was and I feel that once Gwen had found out Merlin would have been given praise he deserved. Seeing the reaction from the people of Camelot is a great talking point, added with Gwen being the Queen. Seeing how she comes to grips with being in charge would make for a great new character arc.
There’ll always be threats to Camelot, so it wouldn’t be short on action. A number of new characters would need to be brought in, such as new Knights, but I’m sure people would still tune in.
A modern day interpretation
Merlin ended with Emrys walking the streets of the present day waiting for Arthur to return. But what if Arthur returns in 2015?
Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss have very successfully brought Sherlock to the modern day, while keeping the foundations of the original tale and giving it a modern twist. I’m sure some clever writers could do the same with Merlin, with the pair helping people in need.
We could see sorcerers alive in 2015 and be hunted by the government. Enter Merlin who must save them and prove their innocence!
