In a couple of weeks the second series of Merlin arrives on BBC One. As you can see from this freshly-released new cast shot, all of our favourites are back:
There's young Merlin himself (looking as whimsical as ever), Arthur (looking suitably pompous), Gwen (looking downtrodden), Morgana (starting to look a bit scary), King Uther (looking resolutely evil), Gaius (looking p***ed off with life) and that dastardly Dragon (burn, Merlin, burn).
Expect much more of Merlin from us in the coming weeks - meantime, we'll be chilling out with the cast on Sunday so leave any burning questions in the usual place below or on our Twitter.

It is not fair that other people in the world can enjoy the new season of Merlin but as we in Canada can not enjoy it.... We want to see it in Canada... Please.

I have to say that your lucky people to be hanging out with them on Sunday. i really can't wait for its return on BBC1. It is one of BBC1's flag shows across their channels. I wonder , can you give any little hints about what will happen in the return... Oh my question is for Merlin is... "Do you believe that they is magic in real life , or is it made up?"

I really liked Merlin Season 1 and am looking forward to season 2 - was VERY disappointed that Robin Hood was axed, by the way...even though I'm way past being a teen or twen, I enjoy both these series!

Yay! I can't wait for the show to come back. Will we find out more about Morgana's past and is Gwen going to have more prominent storylines especially since Lancelot is returning.

Whimsical? How about the disembodied hand he's sporting! You could ask the girls if their characters are actually living together now, in yet another departure from the traditional legend. Seeing as how Morgana woke up the middle of the night and Gwen was just THERE.

question to the merlin cast. after the positive feedback of Series 1, was their a alot of pressure when filming Series 2 due to the media and public's high expectations?

Is Morgana going to start slipping down the path of evil or are her and Merlin going to become allies. I like the direction of the show so far, I hope it doesn't become predictable start to follow the traditional story that we all grew up.

Will Michelle Ryan be returning for any episodes this series? I know her character was killed off in episode 13 of the first series, but this is fantasy TV - she could always come back from the dead in some way!!

Brilliant news that Merlin's coming back. I've got one question for the cast - what can we expect from the second series?

Ooh I'm so excited!!! I'm absolutely loving your descriptions of the characters! :D A question to Katie McGrath- How far into the series will it be when Morgana truly discovers her powers and to what extent will they develop? To the cast- What do you like best about playing the character that you do?
