MORE MILL MAGIC FOR MERLIN

The Mill is happy to confirm that it is returning to create the visual effects magic for the second series of the hit BBC ONE drama, Merlin.

Set in the mythical city of Camelot and featuring a realm of legendary beasts and dragons, Merlin tells the epic story of the infamous young sorcerer of Arthurian legend.   Starring Colin Morgan as Merlin, Bradley James as Prince Arthur, Anthony Head as King Uther, Richard Wilson as Gaius and John Hurt as the voice of the Great Dragon, Merlin charts the fabled friendship of the young wizard Merlin and Prince Arthur.

Will Cohen, Group Director for Film and TV, said: "Merlin is a hugely exciting and challenging project to be involved in and The Mill is delighted to help bring the magical tale of Kings, knights, wizards and dragons to life once again using a film pipeline to create a TV programme."

US and Canadian audiences are also now set to enjoy Merlin?s epic and magical adventures when series one premieres on NBC in the US and on CTV in Canada on June 21 at 8pm EST / 7pm CET.

Series two of Merlin is currently in production on-location in France and Wales and will return to Saturday nights on BBC ONE this autumn.

Merlin is executive produced by Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy for Shine Television and Bethan Thomas for BBC.
