Making its first appearance at Comic-Con in San Diego, BBC’s “Merlin” brought stars Colin Morgan and Anthony Head, along with creators/writers Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy, across the pond to share what is up-coming for the show’s third season.

Morgan, who plays the title role of Merlin on the show, was clearly pleased with the warm reception by the fans. Although jet-lagged from the whirlwind trip to San Diego from the UK, Morgan did not mind that he was essentially flying out for one day and then quickly returning so that he could film a major stunt sequence for the show. His enthusiasm and excitement for both the show and the privilege of promoting the show at Comic-Con was infectious. He, along with co-star Anthony Head, were just happy that they were getting this chance to meet the fans.

Due to the show’s rigorous filming schedule, there is rarely a moment to breathe, let alone stop and fly half-way around the world. It was a miracle that they were able to carve out a window of time at all for such a jaunt. But by some lucky alignment of the stars, or perhaps a bit of Merlin’s fabled magic, they arrived to share a bit about the family adventure show that has captured the hearts of children and adults around the globe. Currently airing in over 180 countries, “Merlin” has sky-rocketed in popularity.
