I wonder if there will be a 4-month lag again? If so, I won't be watching on syfy. Though with the way they cut things I probably won't anyway.
BBC-One in Britains starts it in Septeber (as opposed to Syfy who waited til January last year and April the year before).
Since it's not a BBC Production (someone else makes it), then Syfy is able to get it's hands on it instead of it being sent to BBC-America as the BBC has been doing with all it's in house stuff (Doctor Who, Being Human, etc...)
Sounds like BBC is going to push Merlin to November to February since Doctor Who comes back in September

Merlin creators axe hit BBC fantasy series

Family fantasy series Merlin is to be axed after five years, with the current BBC One run its last.
The BBC said the series about the young King Arthur and his put-upon wizard servant will come to a 'natural and dramatic end' when it bows out with a two-part finale.
The show, which features veteran stars such as Richard Wilson and John Hurt, pulls in almost seven million viewers, but is being ended by its creators.
BBC One controller Danny Cohen said: "I admire the creators' decision to end Merlin on a high, but also know that we will miss it in the BBC One schedule.
"We have ambitious plans for new drama in the Saturday evening slot in 2013."
