Is Merlin Lily's Dad? 'Once Upon A Time' Season 4 Finale Teases Spoilers For Series 5!

"Once Upon a Time" season 4 just ended its finale on Sunday, and spoilers and rumors are already surfacing regarding season 5, particularly regarding a powerful new fairytale character.

Last night's episode introduced the idea that Merlin is the only one powerful enough to stop the Dark One's darkness. With that, fans have some theories and requests for who should play the sorcerer.

"For me there's only one Merlin," having just binge-watched BBC's-bring on Colin Morgan!" wrote Kimmy Davis on TVLine.

Another popular choice is Ioan Gruffudd of "Forever." Since the series was recently cancelled, is the actor up to the challenge for playing a majorly iconic character on "Once Upon a Time" season 5?

In addition to playing a key role in "Once Upon a Time" season 5, it is highly suspected that Merlin is also Lily's father.

"People have been shipping 'Merlin/Maleficent' for decades," added The Watcher. "I'd be shocked if they didn't go this route."

During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, co-creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis teased the setup for "Once Upon a Time" season 5 right before the finale.

"We certainly are setting up for what next season would be at the end of the finale this year, but we're doing it in hopefully a different way than we've done before," said Kitsis.

"It's probably a little more reminiscent, in a way, to season one, where a condition [was set out] that magic is coming, versus having a new villain of the year or a journey to a different world. It'll be in a slightly different way, but hopefully just as earthshaking or changing than we've ever done, if not more so."
