Once Upon a Time fans last saw Emma (Jennifer Morrison) literally become consumed by darkness in the season 4 finale, and this is apparently where they will pick up in the first episode of season 5. A new TVLine report says they are hearing that the premiere will be a continuation of exactly where things left off.

Additionally, the report says that fans will be meeting the colorful characters of Camelot earlier in the season than later.
