Oooh, another one to check out--though yeah, if they are trying to make it "accurate" they might not go the magic route. Here's hoping they write Morgan le Fay well (Hirst seems to be good at more sympathetic and complex portrayals than normal of much maligned figures like Anne Boleyn or Mary Tudor), and not like a slut...
Here's hoping they make Arthur the protagonist instead of Merlin, like the current BBC series. Merlin makes for a very tedious protagonist.
I love the tudors so much and cant wait for the the third season
What the HELL? Merlin (BBC) Is already up for NBC why make another version? And as for historically accurate? Pigs would fly...
I hope this will be morel like the legends than the current BBC "Merlin."
I'm looking forward to that! I love the Tudors and think a similiar approach to Camelot could work really well... (though I'd look to know - are they doing the magical or non magical version?)
