Camelot, after failing to attract viewers on Nine, will continue on GO! this Sunday (September 4) from 9.30pm.
Like it was scheduled on Nine, it will air as a double episode from 9.30-11.30pm.
The two episodes on GO! this Sunday are episodes 3 and 4 of the show.
Arthur’s pursuit of Guinevere proves unrewarding, Leontes and Kay recruit a new warrior whom they feel they can trust, and Arthur and Merlin contemplate a dinner invitation to Morgan’s castle.
Nine have dropped Camelot.
After months of promotion, the series failed to connect with the audience when it premiered last Sunday, with the first episode barely managing 600,000 viewers, following on from 1.7 million watching Underbelly: Razor. The second episode, which aired at 10.30, reached just over 200,000.
While I fail to understand the logic of having two hours of a show like that from 9.30pm, just the result for the first episode alone was a worry, not to mention how incompatible it is with Underbelly that precedes it. Nine would have been better off airing this one on a Saturday night or even weekend afternoon.
Instead, the movie The Hangover – a free to air first – will air on Nine at 9.30pm this Sunday (September 4). This means there will be movies on all three of Nine’s channels on Sunday night with Almost Famous on GO! and Six Degrees of Separation on GEM.

How long have Nine been promoting Camelot? Seems it has been coming soon for the last three months!
Now we have a timeslot for the show.
Camelot premieres on Nine in a double episode from 9.30pm Sunday August 28, right after episode three of Underbelly Razor.
Synopsis: 1st episode:
Homecoming. A historical drama chronicling the Arthurian legend. King Uther dies, leaving young commoner Arthur as heir to the throne of England, where he is championed by the wizard Merlin but destined to tangle with his evil half sister, the sorceress Morgan.
And the 2nd:
The Sword and The Crown. Arthur finds the perfect mate in a young woman named Guinevere. Meanwhile, as Merlin tries to connect Arthur with Excalibur, Morgan and new ally King Lot plot to usurp the throne.
Camelot stars Jamie Campbell Bower, Tamsin Egerton, Joseph Fiennes, Claire Forlani, Eva Green, Peter Mooney.
Camelot on Nine, 9.30pm Sundays from August 28, 2011.
When all is said and done, there’ll only be a little Camelot. The show that Nine is already advertising has opted not to move forward with production on the second series, which aired its first season finale earlier last month in the USA and UK.
“Due to significant production challenges, Starz has decided not to exercise the option for subsequent seasons of Camelot with our production partners GK-tv, Octagon Films and Take 5 Productions,” the cabler explains in a statement cited by The Hollywood Reporter.
Deadline elaborates that among the challenges for the Ireland-based production were scheduling conflicts with some members of the cast, which was fronted by Joseph Feinnes, Jamie Campbell Bower and Eva Green.
Nine will air the 10 part series, later this year, and has been advertising it during night time programming.
