The series - a new take on the Arthurian legend - pulled in 5.3 million viewers between 8pm and 10pm on Sunday night. The first two episodes were shown back to back on the network immediately after live coverage of the US Open golf championship.
The audience figures were small, but enough to make NBC the second most-watched network of the night in the US. Merlin was beaten by gameshow Million Dollar Password and a rerun of Cold Case on CBS.
In the UK, the first episode pulled in 6.6 million viewers on BBC One last September. A second series is currently in production for broadcast this Autumn.
