The following is a list of episodes for British television series Merlin. It began its broadcast on BBC One on 20 September 2008 and as of 12 November 2011, 46 episodes have aired over four series, with the fourth currently airing beginning October 1 2011, and a fifth already commissioned for broadcast in 2012.[1]

It was created by Julian Jones, Jake Michie, Julian Murphy and Johnny Capps based on the Arthurian legends of the mythical wizard Merlin and his relationship with Prince Arthur, but differs from traditional versions of the legend in many ways, especially the characters. It is produced by independent production company Shine Limited.

American broadcaster NBC began airing the programme on 21 June 2009, but after a decline in viewership, the show moved to the cable network Syfy, where it began broadcast of the second series on 2 April 2010.

The first three series are available on DVD in the UK and the first two in North America, with the third season scheduled to be released January 17, 2012.[2] The first three series are available on Netflix Streaming in North America.[3]
