“Once Upon A Time” is a show on ABC that is all about fairytales in the modern world. They take stories that we all know and love, such as Snow White, and makes it into a story that could be told today. On Sun. May 14 2017, ABC aired the “Once Upon A Time” season 6 finale, but only 5 days before this finale, fans did not know if the show was going to be returning for a season 7.
With the loom of a final battle on the show, most fans were thinking that season 6 was the final season. On Thurs. May 11, ABC announced a list of some shows that were canceled and returning. On the returning side, “Once Upon A Time” was present and fans were spilt on their feels.
On May 8, almost a week before the finale, Jennifer Morrison announced that she was leaving the hit show. Morrison plays Emma Swan, who is the lead on the show. Fans were wondering if Morrison leaving the show meant that Emma would be dying in the season finale.
Along with Morrison, 5 other stars, who play main cast members, will be leaving after season 6. This list includes Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Dallas, Jared Gilmore, Emilie de Ravin, and Rebecca Mader.
This only Lana Parrilla, Colin O’Donoghue and Robery Carlyle as the returning cast members. The co-creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis are bringing in Andrew J West, as grown up Henry, and Alison Fernandez, as his daughter, as series regulars for season 7.
Horowitz and Kitsis have told fans that season 7 will not be like anything else on “Once Upon A Time”. With most of the cast leaving, they are making season 7 more of a spin off that is using the same name, though Horowitz and Kitsis are calling it a resetting.
