Once Upon A Time was secretly renewed weeks ago, but the showrunners were ready for an ABC plot twist, just in case the show was cancelled, per THR:
“We understand that this could be the last year,” Kitsis says. “So we aren’t trying to hope for the best. We feel like we’ve completed this story, and the next chapter of Once Upon a Time will be completely different.”
“The way we sort of look at it is, these are stories for these characters, and there are set endpoints to different stories,” says Horowitz, “But that doesn’t mean there aren’t new stories for different characters. I think that by the end of the season finale, a lot of what we’ve been doing for the last six years is wrapped up — we hope in a very satisfying way — and then we move forward in a way that at the end of it, hopefully you’ll see what we’re hoping to do in season seven.”
With six main characters axed, how will Once Upon A Time fare next season? Will Season 7 turn out to be the last, or could it spark new life into the series, leading to a Season 8 renewal? All will be revealed in time: Stay tuned…
