** Producers liked Katie [=McGrath=]'s audition but were hesitant to cast her due to the Irish accent. But since Colin Morgan was able to do an English accent, this allowed them to cast Katie and have her use her natural Irish accent.

** Angel Coulby is credited before Bradley James in the opening credits; a little strange considering Arthur is the show's {{Deuteragonist}}. Speculation is that Angel went first because she was the most established cast member at the inception of the show, or that the names are simply in alphabetic order after Colin Morgan.
** In the episode ''Another's Sorrow'' James Fox is ranked before Janet Montgomery, even though Montgomery is in nearly every scene of the episode and Fox's role barely constitutes a cameo.

* RomanceOnTheSet: Bradley James and Creator/GeorgiaKing (Princess Elena) started dating after ''The Changeling''. Hilariously ironic given that their characters mutually agreed to call off their ArrangedMarriage after coming clean with the fact that they definitely don't love each other. Apparently the actors felt a bit differently.

** Creator/RichardWilson, who plays Gaius, stated in the documentary series ''Magic and Secrets'' that Gaius was Hunith's older brother and Merlin's uncle. This never comes up in the series itself, so it seems to have been dropped.

* OutOfOrder: 3X08 ("The Eye of the Phoenix") and 3X10 ("Queen of Hearts") were switched around in order to boost ratings, which did some pretty serious continuity damage to Morgana and Guinevere's relationship. And ironically, "Queen of Hearts" ended up being the highest rated episode thus far.

* TrollingCreator: The more fans complain about Arthur being conveniently knocked out, the more it happens on show. It's gone from only happening a couple of times per season to a OnceAnEpisode occurrence, and has even extended to Merlin once.

** Charlene [=McKenna=], who plays Lamia, was best known for her role as a HardDrinkingPartyGirl on ''{{Series/Raw}}'' or else other GenkiGirl roles. Seeing her as such a dark villain is extremely different.
