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 love once upon a time! I think it would not only be dumb to end it where it is in season 7 but also very upsetting! & would be such a cliffhanger
I really really hope they continue it!
I liked once upon a time so much
i personally didn’t enjoy season 7 since it didn’t have the original characters but if they came out with season 8 with the originals that would be fantastic, i have been a big fan of this show since it came out and i cried when it ended
This is mine and my fiance’s favorite show please give it a season 8 with the people showing their Happy endings and spending time with their family and maybe going on adventure together to find certain things. I’ve never done anything like this and I love this show
I Love this show it would make me so sad if it got canceled
Omg please no I love this show it can’t end there is so much they could keep going I hate when TV production does this they wait until it starts getting so good and they want to take it off please please let there be a season 8
Nooooooo! We need more!!! Absolutely addicted to this show and needing more!!!! This beats anything else on Netflix there is so much more to find out and see! Please don’t end it there!!!

I really hate that once upon a time is ending so soon. There is so many blanks to fill in. I really hope that ABC decided to renew or another network picks up where they left off.
I feel that 7 should not be the end so many untold parts. Emma was hardly in season 7 need more to her and the to many questions to still be answered.
