Synopsis

A prequel/spinoff to the BBC show Merlin. About the adolescent/young adult years of Uther and Gaius, showing insight into their unconventional friendship and turbulent history. Uther is a prince training to become a king (little does he know, he will one day conquer and rule over Camelot). Gaius is an apprentice at court. The adventures Uther and Gaius go through together mirror Arthur and Merlin's relationship, but they are set in a time when magic freely roams in the realm (pre-The Great Purge) yet anarchy reigns. The overarching irony for the audience is Uther's slow descent into tyranny and Gaius' efforts in trying to convince Uther to be more forgiving and gentle. Maybe Gaius sticks with Uther because he knows the prophecy his future son, Arthur, will hold. Or perhaps it's something else... Over the series, countless misfortunes (and good times) shape the paths of Uther and Gaius as we know it becomes in Merlin.

Description of Geoffrey of Monmouth:

The court librarian/"genealogist" later on. This spinoff can answer the questions: "How did he end up isolated, guarding a dusty library?" "What's his backstory?" "How did he and Gaius become friends?" I can see Geoffrey being like a "Gaius figure" as a young man, following young Gaius and Uther around, spouting words of wisdom or gems of knowledge. (portrayed by Michael Cronin in Merlin)
