Merlin is sworn to secrecy about his magical powers as all magic is outlawed in Camelot by King Uther, Arthur’s father played by Buffy star Anthony Stewart Head.

The season kicks of with an episode entitled The Curse of Cornelius Sigan, Merlin must compete with a conman who turns Prince Arthur against him and is forced to seek the help of the Great Dragon once more.
