“Once Upon a Time” executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis revealed that fans will see a lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender “love story” in Season 5. While it was previously revealed Mulan (Jamie Chung) is a lesbian, Horowitz and Kitsis won’t say whether the same-sex romance will involve the female warrior or another character.

“We know that [LGBT] community have been big supporters of the show, and we would love to be able to tell a love story that reflects that,” Kitsis said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “It is something that we’re going to do this year.”

Horowitz added: “We want the show to reflect the world as it is now. Whether that’s going to be with any particular character, we’re not going to say ... It’s something we think is due and important to do on the show.”

During Season 3, it was revealed Mulan was in love with Princess Aurora (Sarah Bolger), but never told her because the sleeping beauty said she was pregnant with Prince Phillip’s (Julian Morris) baby. The last time fans saw Mulan was shortly after Aurora revealed her baby news and Mulan joined Robin Hood (Sean Maguire) and his Merry Men.

However, Chung took to Twitter Tuesday to tell fans she was reprising her role as Mulan in Season 5. It’s unclear how soon “Once Upon a Time” will introduce the LGBT storyline, but we do have a few details about the Season 5 premiere.

The first episode, titled “The Dark Swan,” will pick up after Emma (Jennifer Morrison) was swallowed by a cloud of darkness in the Season 4 finale. During the premeire episode, Emma’s family and friends will go searching for her, not realizing she was transported to the Enchanted Forest and is no longer in their “world.” The synopsis also teased that fans will see Ginnifer Goodwin’s character Snow, Josh Dallas’ Prince Charming and Colin O’Donoghue’s Captain Hook team up with an “unlikely ally” to help find Emma.

“Once Upon a Time” Season 5 premieres on ABC Sunday, Sept. 27, at 8 p.m. EDT.
