The shift to filming in glorious 35mm has opened new doors of creative storytelling for the crew of Merlin, and the evidence is clear in the lush cinematography and haunting approach to “Lamia,” an all-new episode Merlin premiering Friday, February 24, at 10 p.m. Et/Pt only on Syfy.
The episode sets Merlin and several Knights of the Round Table on the road to a distant village to help treat those inflicted with a mysterious illness – but the young warlock quickly discovers he is the one in danger. As the Knights become increasingly bewitched by an alluring young woman named Lamia, Merlin finds himself with only Gwen as an ally as he’s lured into a game of cat and mouse against an unseen enemy more deadly than he could possibly imagine.
Lamia is played by actress Charlene McKenna, who is currently featured as the heroine of the popular Irish television series Raw.
