Once Upon a Time season 5 photos

The Dark Swan is ready to fly in the newly released photos from Once Upon a Time’s upcoming season, which also feature newcomer Merida (Amy Manson) and the men of Camelot, King Arthur (Liam Garrigan), Percival (Andrew Jenkins) and Lancelot (Sinqua Walls).

Here’s the logline for the premiere: “Immediately after becoming the Dark One, Emma disappears and the heroes must band together to save her, but first they have to find her, which will require the help of an unlikely ally. Meanwhile, in the Enchanted Forest, Emma struggles to resist her dark urges as she searches for Merlin in the hope that he can stop her transformation. Along the way to Camelot, she gets help from the plucky and brave warrior princess Merida, as well as King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, in the adventure-filled season 5 premiere of Once Upon a Time.”

Once Upon a Time premieres Sunday, Sept. 27 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
