No, more likely 5x02, maybe even 5x03. But they need to find the person to fill that role quickly, and they want to have time to do it before they get caught up in the day to day grind of filming the episodes, which starts in a couple of weeks. And with also having to manage auditions for Arthur, Guinever, and Merlin, that is 4 relatively major roles to cast. And that's just the ones we know about.
