The first bit of information about season 5 of Fringe has been released via SFX magazine, regarding the future we glimpsed in “Letters of Transit.” Beware of spoilers.

In a preview for the interview with Fringe showrunners Joel Wyman and Jeff Pinkner appearing in issue #223 of SFX (on sale this Wednesday), we learn the response to whether the season will revisit the Observer-led future we were introduced to in season 4. Joel Wyman responds:

Yeah, I think it’s safe to say you will [see that]. It’s good to say that future is important to our storytelling but it’s not the be-all and end-all. The critical question is always why do we do flashbacks or flash-forwards and for us there is always a reason. Does “Letters Of Transit” have further implications? It does. You need to understand what it is, or was, in order to fully grasp the thematic things we want to tell this year.

Are you excited? Will we see Etta again?! And most importantly, how many of our questions will the final season of Fringe actually answer?
