S5, Ep8 Avalon written by Callum Shannon

Saison 5 · Épisode 8

dimanche 9 juin 2024 • Durée 42:03

Inspired by Sir Thomas Malory’s 15th-century prose Le Morte D’Arthur, Avalon follows the classic tale of the tragic destiny of soon-to-be King Arthur and his half-sister Morgan, through the lens of our wizardly narrator, Merlin.

After the death of King Uther, the knights and nobleman of the land devise a plan to fill the power vacuum left in his stead. They agree that whoever wields the power to pull the late king’s sword, “Excalibur”, from a stone, shall be their new leader. The ever-ignored daughter of the king, Morgan, finally sees her chance to earn respect from her kingdom and dreams of filling her father’s shoes.

Meanwhile, Arthur, a humble young man from the country, journeys to the kingdom to assist his older brother in a royal tournament. Unbeknownst to him, Arthur is King Uther’s only male heir. In a twist of fate, or predetermined act of destiny, Arthur miraculously pulls Excalibur from the stone. The siblings realize that their destiny is weaved together like a tapestry, and both become determined to protect their future at all costs.

Featuring songs ‘It’ll Find Me’ performed by Casey Cott (recorded and produced by Write Out Loud) and ‘Soul Fly’ performed by Martha Boon.
