‘Once Upon a Time’: Current Narrative To Wrap At End Of Season 6; Will There Be Season 7?

ABC’s Once Upon A Time was a big breakout when it launched in fall 2009. The inventive fairytale drama from Lost alums Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis became an instant ratings and pop culture hit and fit right into the Disney wheelhouse, weaving into its narrative classic characters from the company’s library. Six seasons in, Once‘s ratings have slipped but it remains a DVR and digital viewing power, rakes in international sales for ABC Studios and is epitome of Disney corporate synergy. As a legacy show, it will be given a proper sendoff by ABC, so a decision whether to end the series or keep going has to be made early — as in very soon.

“Eddie and Adam came in and talked with me right before the holiday about what some of their potential ideas might be for Season 7,” ABC entertainment president Channing Dungey told Deadline at TCA today. “There was some interesting stuff, we gave them some feedback, and they are now working and are going to come back and sit with me in a couple of weeks.  I think that, having had worked on Lost, they have a very good sense of the engagement with fans and wanting to end the story in the right way.”

It will be after that meeting that Dungey and her team make a decision whether there will be a Season 7 of Once Upon A Time. But “regardless of what we decide to do at the end of this season, I think they think they would put a little bit of a bow here, and then there is a next piece that comes after that, so they are trying to figure out what that is and how that works.”

Dungey declined to comment whether that “next piece” would be a different incarnation of Once, a spinoff or a something else. But it’s clear that the series, which has reinvented itself a number of times, may be heading for its biggest reinvention yet as the show’s main storyline comes to an end this season. “There will be a little bit of closure in this particular narrative regardless of what happens with Season 7,” Dungey told Deadline.

Once Upon a Time: ABC boss on ‘new direction’ in potential season 7

Though Once Upon a Time has not yet been renewed for a seventh season, a potential season 7 could see big changes coming to Storybrooke.

At the Television Critics Association’s press tour on Tuesday, EW sat down with ABC Chief Channing Dungey to expand on her earlier comments about the future of Once, particularly whether fans should expect any radical changes to the show in a potential seventh season.

“[Executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis] would be looking for the seventh season to be a springboard in a new direction from a narrative standpoint,” Dungey tells EW, “which doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re not bringing cast back, it’s just how do you kind of hit the reset button in a way that gives you opportunity to expand the stories that we’re telling?”

However, it’s hard to imagine that every character would survive the season if OUAT truly is heading for a big shake-up. In a recent Hot Seat with the OUAT bosses, the duo played coy to a fan question asking whether an important character will die without coming back this season. (Though Robin Hood perished last season, Sean Maguire is reprising his role for a multi-episode arc.)

“Whenever there’s change, there’s always transition,” Dungey hedges in regards to whether she expects any cast exits. “It’s just too hard to really say more of anything. Until they really get their pitch finalized, it’s hard to really be more specific.”

Earlier Tuesday, EW posted an extensive interview with Dungey, where she addressed the future of Once Upon a Time, among other shows. The OUAT bosses, “as veterans of Lost, are fully conscious of all these things,” Dungey said of possibly setting an end date for the long-running fairy tale drama. “They came in and sat with us recently to talk about what their ideas would be for a season 7 and we’re in conversations about that right now. But I think this is absolutely a show that is beloved to us and if and when we decide to end it, we want to do it the right way and really give the fans the ending that they deserve. But I will say that Eddy and Adam have some really good ideas for future seasons.”

ABC chief addresses [...] the future of OUAT

Here’s a Once Upon a Time question. Do you see this being the final season? And if so, can you give them an end date to work with like, say, Lost had?

Yeah, so [executive producers] Eddie Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, as veterans of Lost, are fully conscious of all these things. They came in and sat with us recently to talk about what their ideas would be for a season 7 and we’re in conversations about that right now. But I think this is absolutely a show that is beloved to us and if and when we decide to end it, we want to do it the right way and really give the fans the ending that they deserve. But I will say that Eddie and Adam have some really good ideas for future seasons.

Once Upon a Time Is Casting Tiger Lily, Princess From Peter Pan’s Neverland

By Matt Webb Mitovich / January 11 2017, 2:05 PM PST

Once Upon a Time is adding another princess to its world.

TVLine has learned that the ABC drama is casting the role of Tiger Lily, who in fairy tale lore is the princess of the Piccaninny tribe of Native Americans living on the island of Neverland (which Once visited in Season 3). In assorted incarnations, she has crushed on Peter Pan and been tormented by Captain Hook.

Once‘s version of the character, to recur starting with Episode 17, is described as “a force to be reckoned with.” Determined and resourceful, “she’s the kind of woman who’ll risk her life to save yours — and she’ll do it even quicker if it benefits her.” Beneath Tiger Lily’s tough exterior is someone who isn’t afraid to accept help, even if she’s reluctant to ask for it.

And yes, it’s safe to say that she and a certain hook-handed pirate have crossed paths.

Once Upon a Time — which resumes Season 6 on Sunday, March 5, with Episode 11 — is seeking a Native American actress in her late 20s to early 30s to fill the role.

The Drop-In Podcast with Jennifer Morrison

Some notes from the podcast:

Jennifer grew up singing and performed in musical theater

She talks about Albion … she hasn’t seen it and doesn’t know where it is

She warms up her voice when she is on set

She has trouble singing publicly unless she is playing a character

She would like to do something with her sister. Her sister had a song on the Warning Labels credits and will have a song on the Sun Dogs credits

She would like to get back on stage

Jennifer’s OUAT contract ends at the end of Season 6 and she is waiting to see if they will have a Season 7

She is fiercely protective to the show and to the character

Has no interest in abandoning the show but she also can’t commit to it forever so a life decision is coming

She wears the same pair of jeans over and over again 

A&E wanted to take an everyday character and make it as iconic as any other Disney character

Bad habits? She drinks a lot of coffee

She’s really regimented and disciplined - yoga or Pilates everyday, she doesn’t drink during the week, eats lots of vegetables

When you Google her name you get “Jennifer Morrison Arms”

“I never intentionally did anything to have this arm situation.”

Six years away shooting in Vancouver have been her six years of solitude. Being there she was forced to deal with herself.

She would never have had the time or focus to become a director if it wasn’t for her time in Vancouver.

She talks about how she transitions from being in a hyper focused creative space on set and coming home to an empty house and how it has helped her to enjoy being alone.

If the show isn’t picked up then her goal is to allow the spontaneous, adventurous side of herself to exist. It’s been 13 years straight of network TV schedule and films on hiatus. 

“I’m a real sucker for characters that I love.”

Most of her co-workers started the show in relationships and she didn’t so it’s been tough. She realizes that there are good things about being in a hyper committed relationship and good things about being completely free and single.

She’s okay if she doesn’t get married or have kids - she might but she is okay either way.

“I think they gave up on me doing anything normal.” - Jen on her parents

She went into the forest in Vancouver and found herself - just like a fairy tale character

“I think I was born to direct”

So much is on the line when you make a film like Sun Dogs. She felt like it was her job to take care of everyone and live up to their hopes.

“What they’re doing everyday is so vulnerable.” - on why creative types are so sensitive

“The rejection of the art feels like a rejection of yourself.”

She talks about not having had a break in two years and she finally got one the last three days.

She wants her next project to be even better but she hasn’t said yes to anything yet.

Sun Dogs will be seen when is gets accepted to a festival.
