What’s This TV Show About?
A fairy tale drama airing on the ABC television network, the seventh season of Once Upon a Time stars Lana Parrilla, Robert Carlyle, Colin O’Donoghue, Andrew J. West, Gabrielle Anwar, Dania Ramirez, Alison Fernandez, and Mekia Cox. The many guest stars this season include former series regulars Jennifer Morrison, Emilie de Ravin, Jared Gilmore, and Rebecca Mader.
Once Upon a Time, season seven, is a reboot of the story fans watched during the series’ first six installments. With Emma (Morrison), Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin), Charming (Josh Dallas), and Belle (de Ravin), off the canvas and young Henry Mills (Gilmore) now an adult (West), the page has turned. Now, seasoned Enchanted Forest denizens must help Henry and his daughter, Lucy (Fernandez), battle evil and return hope to their world and ours. And of course, they’ll have to deal with yet another pesky curse.

i think it sucks that one of my favorite television show is coming to a end but i all so know is all good thing come to a end know matter what even if though we don’t want it to come to a end but if there were to be a eighth season i would like for all the original cast member to all return like Emma Jared as Henry Hook Mr. Gold Regina Snow White David Zelena Belle..
You can’t stop this program. Its the best I have watched in a long time . such a clever program. I got most of my friends hooked . I am one of them people who lose Interest in stuff fast but I seem hooked to this please please reconsider
When you cry your eyes out all night and then the next morning it is actually true “F##K my life!!!!!”
in my option I think it time to let it go I don”t think OUAT deserves on eighth season it already has run it course
I want Season 8. Please renew the show. I can also accept season 8 as the final season.
I love once upon a time I’ve been watching it since season 1 I haven’t missed an episode I set to record if I’m not home so I don’t miss it. It is by far my favorite show on television I hope I doesn’t get cancelled. Please renew with season 8….
Cancel this show! This is a waste of money. The show was better with the original characters. The story line is not even that great. The show was great, but now it sucks. I had an open mind, but they did not even have the little girls grandma (Regina) let her know she is not alone. That is so out of Reginas character to not put the children first now. The little girls would not be in her predicament if Regina had done what her original character would do which is to talk to her granddaughter, cause the little girl… Read more »
I was hesitant to watch Season 7 after it had been retooled. But I’ve grown to like this season, especially now that we’re getting to the juicy part. Depending on how the season finale goes, I think an 8th final season would be nice.
This show has jumped the Shark
Please renewed once upon a time season 8so darn good I love it but too much shows on Friday night use be Sunday night instead they but something else whatever just rude goes u
Please renewed many more years stories to tell a lot of people get back into so good season.
Cancel it!!! They have ruined their own show!!!!!!. The writers can’t seem to keep their other shows on air so they’re milking this series. It is a freaking shadow of its former self. It has become the Regina show and Mills show because the writers are so far up that characters butt and I won’t be surprised if Regina is the new ‘saviour’ (bleugh) to save Henry. It is an insult to Emma Swan and the Charming family who were the heart of the show. Without them it is nothing.
I know it’s a long-shot, but I hope to see an 8 Season of OUAT. Maybe a final one.
PLEASE RENEW ONCE UOIN A TIME FOR SEASON 8! I was sceptical at first, but have grown to love this new Story line just as much! Woukd LOVE to see it continue!!
New story seems very fresh despite explicit repeat with the curse. New characters, new relashionships… I like it! And now I don’t sleep while watching tv series like I did before this season.
