Merlin creators reveal why the potential spin-off movie never happened

I’m not sure if someone already posted this article by Huw Fullerton from Radiotimes (published 23 April 2020). It’s a long article, based on Q&A with series creators Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy (21 April 2020), so I copy just few sentences. Complete article and link to Q&A

The Colin Morgan series’ team had “conversations” about taking the boy wizard to the big screen – and they still have a few ideas for where the characters are now

.........

According to both creators, even if there had been a Merlin movie it wouldn’t have been the finale of the story – rather, it would have come earlier during the series’ life – and they said that in the end, they wouldn’t have wanted to do more Merlin than they actually ended up making.

"We always saw it as five years," Capps told us, "And we wouldn’t have been able to contract the actors for any more than that.

"It was a labour of love but after five years, 13 episodes each year…by the end we were pretty burnt out, the actors and everybody. We wanted to leave the series on a high, and not be one of those series that just goes on and on and on and gradually just loses its audience.

"We all felt it was right to end at that point. There was no thought of season six."

.........

"Merlin’s still out there, but I hope he’s not sleeping as rough as he was," Capps added. "He’s found a small cottage somewhere in the West Country."

"But I think you have to let these things go," concluded Murphy. "That series was in that moment in time, and the way to think of it is... look at that legend, look how rich it is, and find the next version of it.
