TVLINE | Lastly, what can you tease about how the finale sets up Season 6? [Once creators] Adam and Eddy told me that Sam Witwer and Hank Harris are not necessarily playing who the press reports have said they’re playing. Will we get a sense of who they in fact are, and what the new wrinkle will be?
Yes, you will get a sense of who they are in the finale. They are both really interesting characters, and both very talented actors. I was watching the finale last night, and I was extremely intrigued by both of them. In Season 6, I think we are going to see some new villains, and some old villains are going to resurface and surprise us in ways that we weren’t expecting.
I don’t really know how many new villains can come to OUAT when they’ve nearly covered them all! All that is really left is Scar, Jafar, & Dr. Facilier….we could have had King John had Robin Hood still been alive, but with this whole destroy magic plot, one really great villain to lead that would be Judge Claude Frollo considering his overly religious beliefs!
As for old villains…most of them are dead so that really leaves Evil Queen Regina, Wicked Witch Zelena, Dark One Rumplestilskin, & The Captain Hook….Ursula got her happy ending, Cruella is dead, Peter Pan is dead, Cora is dead, Ingrid is dead, Arthur is dead…but Maleficent is still alive.
