Series shows the legend from a female POV

Gustaf started by saying what made the story so relevant right now was the fact that it could serve as a great escape from reality. He further added how common themes such as oppression of people, legitimacy of power, and persecution of minorities is still very relevant right now. Katherine then added how the story was an important one as viewers have always heard it from a male point of view but never from a female perspective.

Gustaf also mentioned in the interview how he felt he had been preparing to play this role all his life and found Merlin to be a very complex role.
