This first installment of the Rewind series revisits Merlin, the beloved fantasy drama often described as the “Smallville of the Arthurian Legend.” Airing from 2008 to 2013, the series reimagined the mythos of Camelot through a youthful, character‑driven lens—where destiny, friendship, and forbidden magic collide.

Set in a Camelot where King Uther Pendragon has outlawed magic, the story follows a young Merlin, still discovering the depth of his powers, and a young Prince Arthur, who is far from the legendary king he will become. Their relationship—equal parts banter, loyalty, and destiny—forms the emotional core of the series.

The show also reintroduces iconic characters in fresh ways:

Guinevere (Gwen) as a warm, grounded future queen

Morgana as a compassionate ward of Uther whose path slowly darkens

Gaius, Merlin’s mentor and the keeper of Camelot’s secrets

The result is a coming‑of‑age fantasy that blends humor, heart, and high stakes.

This episode includes conversations with:

Katie McGrath (Morgana) — recorded during the period when her character was beginning her descent into darkness. 

The full series is currently available on multiple platforms:
