Last season, the Live + same day ratings for Once Upon a Time dropped more 30% on ABC. Can the series recover? It’s tough to attract new viewers when a show like this one has so many characters and such a complex back story. Could this fantasy drama be cancelled or will it be renewed for a seventh season? Stay tuned.
Once Upon a Time follows the continuing adventures of fairytale characters whose tales unfold between their storybook world and Storybrooke, a small town in Maine. This season, the good guys will have to contend with inhabitants from the Land of Untold Stories and the return of the Evil Queen. The large cast includes Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Morrison, Josh Dallas, Lana Parrilla, Emilie de Ravin, Colin O’Donoghue, Jared S. Gilmore, Rebecca Mader, and Robert Carlyle. Expected to recur are Beverley Elliott, Raphael Sbarge, David Anders, Jessy Schram, Tim Phillipps, Ingrid Torrance, Peter Marcin, Hank Harris, Sam Witwer, Tzi Ma, Gabrielle Rose, Kristin Bauer van Straten, and Agnes Bruckner.

OUAT non può esistere senza i personaggi che l’hanno inaugurata. Io spero che venga CANCELLATA per i seguenti motivi: 1) fino alla prima metà della terza stagione la serie aveva un senso, in quanto gli “heroes/villains” stavano facendo un percorso di crescita personale e si manteneva la struttura corale della serie. Il personaggio di Neal/Baelfire era interessante e credo che mantenerlo nello show ancora per un po’ avrebbe reso la storia più avvincente e con molte più sfumature, non solo per Emma ma anche per il rapporto padre e figlio sia cn Henry che con Gold. 2) dalla quarta stagione… Read more »
So much for skyrocketing ratings for the musical episode/cs wedding, it tanked and I’m not one bit surprised, now that I know CS won’t be in the show anymore because Jennifer Morrison is leaving I would be interested in a renewal.
So the ratings for the CS wedding episode dropped and CS is dead because of Jennifer Morrison leaving the show, oh happy day.
Oh YES, Jennifer Morrison is out so CS is dead, not even one whole day after they were married, RENEW, RENEW, RENEW, I’m only too willing to give the show a chance with no CS in it.
if you don’t want it to renew,don’t watch.duh.
Tonight’s musical episode was amazing!!!!im sure the ratings will skyrocket for this week! It was number one trending hashtag on twitter for hours!!
Please cancel
Why are you a fan of the show, but wanting it cancelled? Your comment does not make sence!
I really hope once upon a time gets renewed I love it and I have watched it from the start its amazing
We don’t need anymore of this show which tries to turn rapists and murderers lile Zelena, Hook and Regina into heroes, CANCEL IT.
Please do not cancel a show that features things like true love, magic, fairies, etc! We med them, amongst the sea of weird family shows, cop shows, reality shows, slasher and serial killers, bio series on politicians, nukes, any other kind of evil one can think of.. Give it a facelift and a new breath of fresh air! Please keep this on air.
Please renew

The continually dropping ratings this show has experienced since season 5 has negated any gains for the network and insured that a lot of budget cuts are going to have to be made if they want to keep this dead weight show afloat, they would be better off cancelling it, the ratings will only fall even further if it’s renewed. The true fans who’ve stopped watching wanted a show about hope not a show about CS and that’s what OUAT has turned into and in doing so Adam and Eddy have alienated the majority of the show’s fanbase, they’re not… Read more »
CANCEL IT, it’s high time that OUAT was put to bed.
