What’s Arthur and Merlin's relationship like at the start of this season?
They are master and servant, but they have also always been friends. They can't help but like each other for their own quirks. What is different this season is that you see a vulnerable prince making use of Merlin as an adviser. For his part, Merlin realizes how much he needs to be strong for Arthur's sake.

Has this changed the relationship between Arthur and Merlin?
Their friendship has grown, and Merlin comes up with pearls of wisdom more and more often. It's harder for Arthur to turn those into a joke and pretend Merlin is just being stupid. They are now forming a much closer relationship.

“Morgana is an entirely different character now,” says Katie McGrath, who has twice been nominated for Golden Nymph Award at the Monte Carlo TV festival for her portrayal of the duplicitous Morgana. “She is much more confident. She has been ostracized from Camelot, but she is independent and in control. She remains very focused, poised and elegant. She's the woman I wish I was!”
“She started off as a bumbling, shy creature,” says Angel Coulby, also a Golden Nymph nominee for her performance. “But she has become so strong and brave - she is by no means a doormat. You will see really heroic things from her during this season.”
