After the last episode of "Once Upon a Time," fans were perplexed about Robin Hood's fate. Will he survive? Will he still be part of the upcoming episodes? For those who want to learn about the character's fate, read more.

If fans will read the different rumors online, it looks like Robin Hood (Sean Maguire) will have to suffer a grim fate, but "Once Upon a Time" producer seems to hint otherwise. It suggests that Regina (Lana Parrilla) has chances of finding her happily ever after.

"I would say that we were just picked up for another year, so the story continues," "OUAT" executive producer Edward Kitsis told Entertainment Weekly. "That's like being mad in the middle of Hunger Games because she didn't win. You've got to wait until the end of the book."

"Once Upon a Time" executive producer Adam Horowitz added that Regina is on a journey and the character will have to face several challenges. There will be ups and downs along the way. He explained that they are still in the middle of the story.

Is Robin Hood's fate among the challenges that Regina has to deal in the upcoming episodes of "Once Upon a Time" Season 5?

Apart from finding out Robin Hook's fate, the second half of "Once Upon a Time" season 5 will feature the characters' mission to save Hook from the Underworld, which turned out to be more difficult than expected. The heroes struggle as they deal with souls who have unfinished businesses.

Meanwhile, according to Deadline, two characters will be joining "Once Upon a Time" Season 5. "The Man in the High Castle" star Hank Harris and "Being Human" alum Sam Witwer will appear in recurring roles in the upcoming "OUAT" episodes.

Per the report, Harris will play as Nathaniel, a meek and troubled patient in a mental institution who struggles under the evil power of his warden, Jacob (Witwer). Jacob enjoys tormenting his most disturb and helpless patients.
