Fate has arrived to 'Once Upon a Time'

Back when the of Once Upon a Time was announced, we were told that its theme was "Fate is coming" -- but we didn't quite understand the real meaning of it.

Until now.

Actress Hattie Morahan (who you might recognize as the Enchantress from Beauty and the Beast or Queen Elsemere from Alice Through the Looking Glass) has been cast in a recurring role as Lachesis, a.k.a. one of the Three Fates from Greek Mythology.

Lachesis is described as "an ancient entity who seeks the good of others before her own happiness. She measures the thread of life, and is a key when it comes to truly understanding the entire Once Upon a Time universe". She will début in the season's ninth episode, a Robin Hood centric titled "".

And in case you're wondering where the two other Fates -- Clotho and Atropos -- are, showrunner Winged Pig teases: "Clotho and Atropos play a key role in the season, but it doesn't mean that they'll show up right now. There may be a few episodes before you see them for the first time, and the reason for that will be explained towards the end of the first half."

The eighth season of Once Upon a Time airs every Friday, on the Once Upon a Time Wiki.
