Speaking to SciFiNow in the magazine’s latest issue, producer Julian Murphy teased: “I don’t see Morgana getting any less powerful. She’s growing into a stronger and more committed enemy than ever before.”

He added: “The stakes are becoming higher now that Arthur is king and the future of Albion is being created, there’s more for Merlin to fight for and more for him to protect so as he gets older, he’s tested as a character because everything in the world becomes more serious.”

Actress Katie McGrath told CultBox earlier this year that she wants Morgana to be “like a warrior queen” in Series 5.
