ONCE UPON A TIME Crowns Its Arthur
Entertainment Weekly has exclusively learned that British actor Liam Garrigan will portray King Arthur in the upcoming season of Once Upon a Time. Garrigan will reportedly be a recurring cast member, following his first appearance in the season premiere.
OUAT hasn’t quite delved into the Arthurian realm in past seasons. However, Camelot is apparently going to be a large part of the fifth season, given a certain “Merlin revelation” in the previous season finale. EW quoted executive producer Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis saying, “As we do on Once Upon a Time, we’re doing our own twist on Camelot, on Arthur’s background and on his relationships with Merlin, Guinevere and Lancelot.”
Garrigan’s acting credits include 24: Live Another Day, The Legend of Hercules, and The Pillars of the Earth.
Once Upon a Time returns for its fifth season on Sunday, Sept. 27 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
