Once Upon a Time Season 5 is in the works and a lot are in store for the fans. Some casts are promoted as series regulars. And some are downgraded. Also, in season 5, fans will finally see the powerful sorcerer Merlin.
The fourth season of the series has just finished but the people behind Once Upon A Time are already busy cooking up new stuff for the fifth season of the show.
Good news, Rebecca Mader and Sean Maguire have been promoted as series regulars. Mader, who portrays The Wicked Witch Zelena, and Maguire, who portrays the role of Robin Hood, are back for Once Upon A Time Season 5.
Bad news, Michael Socha, who was just recently promoted as series regular in season 4 has been downgraded, he is no longer a series regular. Socha has not been sacked from the show. He will still play as Will Scarlett but fans will not see much of him this season, apparently.
Aside from the old casts, fans should expect more new faces such Merlin, Arthur and Guinereve. The Once Upon A Time team even called out for a casting call for the three characters.
The casting call details are the following:
For the character Merlin: "a black man around 30 to 40 years old, with a natural British accent. Merlin should be "a man with great wisdom and intelligence beyond his years, someone who has always put duty in front of his own desires, even at great personal cost."
For Arthur: "good and just ruler" but at the same time can be "a master manipulator who can carry a grudge to the grave, and maybe beyond." His love for Guinevere is an "eternal burning love" but "controlling." Like Merlin, he must be in his mid-30s to early 40s and must have a British accent."
Lastly, Guinevere: "A Latina between her 20s and 30s to play a "headstrong queen" who falls in love with another Knight Lancelot. Although, they are not casting for a Lancelot yet." The three characters might. especially Merlin, will show up in Once Upon A Time Season 5 this September.
Are you excited to continue the magic in Once Upon A Time Season 5? Fans will have to wait for the premiere date of the series this September 27, 2015 on ABC.
