About the show
It’s Winter Solstice 2026. Grace is in A&E with Lego stuck
up her nose, waiting for someone to notice her.
It’s Summer Solstice 526AD. Arthur is setting out on the journey of a lifetime: tasked with retrieving the sword for the future King.
Overlooked and wanting to be taken seriously, Grace encounters the mysterious Merlin who transports her back to the 6th century. As Grace and Arthur’s two worlds collide, their fates entwine, and together they must embark on the greatest quest they’ll ever face to retrieve Excalibur. With the future of Britain depending on them, they must overcome a fearsome beast and navigate the perils of the ancient forest – if only they can figure out how to work together.
