From TV Series Finale (part 1):
Merlin: Colin Morgan on the Ending, Spin-Offs, and What He’ll Miss Do you know if there was there any truth to the possibility of a sixth season?
As actors, we always have to respect the wishes of the producers because they created the show. It’s their project and when we do publicity we have to respect what they’d like us to talk about so that’s what we did.
From TV Series Finale (part 2):
Merlin: Colin Morgan on Merlin’s Journey, An Extra Episode, and Playing Another Character Do you have a favorite aspect of the Merlin character?
I think it’s his ability to put himself to his sights and focus on the huge task that’s been put in front of him, despite himself. He overcomes any ego and he becomes a little bit selfless. He is working towards a future for himself but he knows everyone has to come before him so he can live in that future. I admire his ability to do that.
