Spoilers series 5 last episode!

With there being rumor of a Merlin Spin Off series, I wonder whether the end scene of the finale, of Merlin in the 21st century is a prequel to the spin off series? I thought perhaps they may focus on Merlin in the Modern century..? Or would it be better looking at Merlin's past, for example, his reasons leaving Ealdor.. What do you think guys?
