As we reported last month, the third season of Merlin is kicking off on Syfy on Friday, January 7, 2011. There are 13 episodes in this season and Merlin has already been renewed for a fourth season of 10 episodes by the BBC. The BBC is supposedly already talking about possible specials and/or a fifth season.
Here in the states, Syfy will likely wait to see how season three performs before purchasing the rights to any more.

10 great one-season wonder TV shows

The day he announced the cancellation of the fantastic but low-rated private eye drama “Terriers” after a single season, FX president John Landgraf said, frankly, “This isn’t the first good show we’ve had to cancel, and it won’t be the last.”
Great shows get canceled all the time, often as quickly as “Terriers” was – if not sooner. (This is, after all, the same season in which the best new broadcast network series, FOX’s “Lone Star,” lasted all of two episodes.) And though the cancellation of “Terriers” is a sad thing for fans of quality TV, it also means the show gets to join some pretty august company: great series that only lasted a single season. And in some ways, those shows can wind up better-remembered than ones that lasted longer. While it’s terrible to fall for a one-and-done show, there’s also something to be said for leaving the audience wanting more. Most TV shows will ultimately give you a bad season, or multiple bad seasons – it’s the nature of a business that usually demands keeping shows on the air past the point where everyone has stopped caring – but the one-and-dones lived fast, died young and left good-looking DVD corpses.

‘Vampire Diaries’ exclusive: Michael Trevino talks Tyler’s transformation, scenes with Damon and Stefan, and Jules’ motives

Watching Michael Trevino act out his character Tyler’s first long, painful transformation into a werewolf on last night’s midseason finale of The Vampire Diaries was difficult. Especially for his mother. “I had to warn my parents, mainly my mom,” he says. “I let them know it’s pretty intense, pretty graphic. I was on the phone with my mom, and I could hear in her voice that she almost had to change the channel, to look away. If you imagine it, I’m their son — having to see your child go through that, it’s gotta be pretty heartbreaking.” We caught up with Trevino this afternoon to reflect on his breakout episode and look ahead.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Have you by chance listened to EW’s TV Insiders podcast breaking down last night’s episode already?
MICHAEL TREVINO: I have not, no.
Okay, good. If you do, you may hear me accused of “panting” during your shirtless scenes. That is not accurate.
[Laughs] Okay. No, it’s not. [Laughs] Okay.
