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.

Just watched season 7 so disappointed there isn’t a season 8 my daughter and I love this show would love more to be made
I Truly believe this show has so much potential to continue on for many many more seasons. Not only did this show bring all of our favorite Disney stories to life but it also kept alive some forklore and legends we all know and love. Once Upon A Time changed the way we looked at life with such amazing writing and carefully selected actors. This show has been my nerd for 7 years. I would be sad if it stopped at 7 seasons. Still, I will always love and continue to watch it through out my years! I would love… Read more »
Please bring once upon a time back
We as a mother and daughter do not watch TV series ,but watching Once Upon a time has been our ritual not just because it is a great show. But, the lesson it teaches you Good over Evil , about second chances, about hope , love , Family. That villains can change and people learn and grow. We request you to please continue making great stories. As they said “its not Over”; I am sure there is lot to show about and inspire many people out there. There are more Fairy stories legends that can be connected. It is such… Read more »
Except what you said about the villains changing were wrong. In case you forgotten or didn’t pay attention carefully, there was living proof that the villains never changed. 1) Regina was still left lying about the murder Sheriff Gramm, and she only got her darkness back without getting rid of it again, she murdered innocent people and didn’t other victims’ hearts back; 2) Hook is still a liar, he has never given up his ship cause he got it back, he murdered Charming’s father (and that story was left unfinished, and it will only end with him dead and gone),… Read more »
Did you not see rumplestilskin take his life to protect everybody else and yes he may be a villain but at the end of the series he gets.his happy ending with Belle so yes.villians can change
Except his death completes the loose end of the prophecy where Henry becomes his undoing. And it finally got it’s ending.
did you not see that Regina become the queen of all the realms so she did get a happy ending and that she does not have dark magic anymore she has light magic so keep tension to the movie
I have watched the show before bought that comment up for nothing. Besides, this would not last forever in revivals, because of the loose ends. And that was not light magic when making that curse.
Please don’t cancel this my sister showed it to me and I fell in love it was an escape from all the stress and anxiety I had last year and it’s just overall awsome so please don’t end it because I love it so much it means so much to me
I LOVE That show
don’t cancel Once Upon a Time! I just discovered it, on Netflix, and I watch it every weekend!! I never watch network TV channels at all, because I am not home when they’re playing the shows I like.
Please don’t cancel this show!!! It is the best one I have ever watched. It took me a long time to finish all seven seasons but it deserves an eighth! The plot is so good and so many will be disappointed if it doesn’t go on.
