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.

Horrible bedding I’m very upset of how.ending was I hated Emma wwas hardly in season 7 Need more to the story.
I really wish this show would have kept going on to season 8…there’s so much more that could be added on to this amazing show. Canceling it was a mistake and knowing so many people that were so into this show I’m not the only one that feels this way.
Once upon a time Is an amazing tv show that almost everybody loves, although nowadays most people wait to watch it on Netflix and or the fire stick so they don’t have to watch those pesky commercials. So I think it’s really unfair for them to only use the ratings from cable tv when you guys should really look at the ratings from everywhere it’s played on and take that into account. Like I said most people watch it on Netflix because it’s easier an less expensive especially for us 20 year olds that are struggling in life and Netflix… Read more »
I really hope they will make more at some point. The show has brought so much joy to my life, and I’m sad that it’s over. Then again like Regina said at the end of season 7, this isn’t the end, and none of their story’s are over yet. So there is always hope.
I think that once upon a time should be renewed. It’s a story about heroes and it makes me so happy. Plus there are so many twists. Where is the dark ones daggar? Where is the blue faerie? Regina’s last message. Please renew
Very sad, I cried and had an anxiety attack.. I love this show and all the people in it. It gave me hope that some day I too can have a happily ever after.
SUPER SADDDD 🙁
No Show compares to this out there. Made me feel young again. I’m a Disney kid at heart even at the age of 30. Was very sadden to hear this show ended. Loved the writing was so imaginative, just like shows use to be. great writers were on this show, where they were to bring all the Disney characters together. This use to be my show where I just snuggled on the couch with an cup of tea.
just brought back happy memories.
Once Upon a Time you will be truly missed by all
I would love to have season eight of “Once Upon A Time” or even more after that. This is my favorite show to watch. It broke my heart to hear it end. I LOVE this show with all my heart. I wish that it would come back for other seasons. I think that there should have been a person come out from behind the Storybrooke sign and make a smirky grin or something, so that there would have been another season. That would have been cool to see. I think that it should be renewed, but if it can not… Read more »
It ended at a very good moment when our hearts are full and things are tied up neatly and realistically. They covered a lot of different aspects in life and left when we would still enjoy more which is a graceful time to leave.
I’m soooo sooooo soooooooo!!!! Very Hurt and Sad with this news. That my #1 Favorite Show Ever!!!! Is not coming back for a season 8 smh ♀️ Noooo noooooooo nooooooooo it cant be True??? My heart isn’t happy anymore. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME BACK I LOVE ALL OF YOU GUYS.
No I’m heart broken renew the show! We need more of once upon a time!
no after they started this new story in season 7, we need more seasons, can’t just start season 7 and then cancel the show. 🙁
They should have canceled this show after Season 5 in my opinion – but yeah, I’m glad it’s over. It was beyond saving. Shame, as the first few seasons were fantastic.
I think if they didn’t start with a new story line(season 7) and stopped it at season 6 that would of been fine, But since they had to start this new story, they should finish it. Season 7 cannot/should not be the end! The new curse has not even been broken yet. There is going to be a lot of questions about what to happened…. Please reconsider a new season!!
plese don,t do this once upon a time is my best show that i ever whatch don,t qite know
Best show everr
