When I most unexpectedly reunited with the age-defying Ginnifer Goodwin on the Disney Upfront’s blue carpet earlier this month, I had recently gotten a Facebook “memory” about the Once Upon a Time musical episode, which aired eight years prior (and for which I was on-set, in March 2017).

So after talking a bit about her voice acting encore as police rabbit Judy Hopps in Disney’s Zootopia 2 (due in theaters Nov. 26!), I had to invite Ginny to reflect on Ouat‘s “The Song in Your Heart,” which aired May 7, 2017, saw her duet with husband Josh Dallas’ Charming, and teed...

Once Upon a Time successfully reimagined many popular fairy tales over its run on ABC, earning a very devoted fan base over seven seasons. Fans have been interested in a reboot or revival of the show since it ended -- and one of the series' main cast members is ready and willing to go back.

While making an appearance at Disney Upfronts, Ginnifer Goodwin -- who played Snow White / Mary Margaret Blanchard for Ouat's first six seasons -- told The Hollywood Reporter that she'd be up for a reboot. "Absolutely," Goodwin replied when asked if she'd be interested in reprising her role again.

Goodwin reflected on the major impact Once Upon a Time had on her -- not just professionally, but personally as well.

ABC has picked up the drama pilot “Rj Decker,” based on Carl Hiaasen’s 1987 novel “Double Whammy.”

The one-hour pilot hails from writer and executive producer Rob Doherty, with Paul McGuigan attached to direct and executive produce. Hiaasen is also executive producing along with Carl Beverly and Sarah Timberman of Timberman/Beverly Productions. 20th Television is the studio.

The official logline for the series states:

“Rj Decker, disgraced newspaper photographer and ex-con, starts over as a private investigator in the colorful-if-crime-filled world of South Florida, tackling cases that range from slightly odd to outright bizarre with the help of his journalist ex, her police detective wife, and a shadowy new benefactor, a woman from his past who could be his greatest ally… or his one-way ticket back to prison.”

This marks the latest attempt to adapt a Hiaasen novel for television in recent years. Apple TV+ currently has the series...

Another Carl Hiaasen novel is being developed as a TV series with Bill Lawrence onboard.

Variety has learned exclusively that a series version of Hiaasen’s novel “Skinny Dip” is currently in development at Max with Adam Horowitz & Edward Kitsis set to write and Lawrence attached as an executive producer.

The logline for the one-hour dramedy series describes it as “a screwball-romantic-comedy-triangle about murder, revenge, and greed in the Everglades.”

Lawrence, a longtime fan of Hiaasen, is currently the creator and showrunner on the series adaptation of “Bad Monkey” at Apple TV+. That show debuted at Apple in August 2024 and was renewed for a second season in December.

Horowitz and Kitsis will write and executive produce “Skinny Dip.” Lawrence, Jeff Ingold, and Liza Katzer will executive produce via Doozer. Warner Bros. Television, where Doozer is under an overall deal, is the studio.

Horowitz and Kitsis are best known as the...

If you ask anyone what my favorite show is, to this day, it's still Once Upon a Time. The premise of the series, especially those first three seasons, was so unique and wonderful. It was a world that allowed you to escape into the fairytale stories where many were changed in inventive ways that surprised us all.

The show went on for seven seasons, from 2011 to 2018 on ABC, though I'd say that for most fans no matter who your favorite character was or what relationship you shipped the hardest, Ouat season 7 was completely unnecessary and honestly erased from most of our minds. I at least ignore the fact that it was a thing.

It's been a few years now since the series finale aired, and that makes us fans nostalgic for the show. That does mean that the actors are already being asked about whether they'd like to see and...

Exclusive: After a rocky third season that saw the exit of co-developer/showrunner/director David S. Goyer amid production restarts and budget adjustments, things are looking up for Apple TV+’s sci-fi drama Foundation. With the completed third season not yet scheduled but likely to debut this year, the streamer and Foundation studio Skydance Television already are prepping a fourth installment of Isaac Asimov’s adaptation starring Jared Harris and Lee Pace.

Ian Goldberg (Fear the Walking Dead) has been tapped as new executive producer/showrunner, with a Season 4 writers room up and running, sources tell Deadline. Goldberg’s work on the show falls under an overall deal he has signed with Skydance TV, I hear.

Season 3, which originally paused production in spring 2023 after several weeks of filming due to the WGA strike, was delayed in its 2024 production restart because of issues related to budgeting and physical production. Filming eventually...

From plots of political treachery and imitate romances to vast multiverses and epic intercontinental warfare, the fantasy genre encompasses much of the stories that make life so rich. Many of these tales come from the literary world, bled from the ink of such legendary writers as J.R.R. Tolkein, C.S. Lewis, H.P. Lovecraft, as well as those who follow in their footsteps, like Andrzej Sapkowski, Terry Pratchett, and George R.R. Martin. 

Whether adapting the work of these prolific authors or creating a world that's entirely new, the fantasy genre demands one thing: grand narrative scale. Perhaps this is why such stories have flourished through the medium of television in recent years, taking viewers to distant lands, ancient times, and far away worlds we could once only dream of through the pages of a book. 

But not all fantasy TV series are created equal, which is why we've assembled a...

For all the blood, sweat, and manpower that ABC poured into finding a successor to "Lost" (a show that shaped the course of television in the early 21st century), I'd bet dollars to donuts the network never wagered it would take the shape of "Once Upon a Time."

Conceived by "Lost" alumni and "Tron: Legacy" writers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, "Once Upon a Time" casts "House, M.D." veteran Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan, a seemingly unremarkable bail bond agent who, just like any hero's journey protagonist worth their salt, discovers there's far more to her world (and destiny) than she ever realized. The show itself combines jigsaw puzzle-style storytelling with well-known fairy tale characters -- especially the Disneyfied versions, which was possible thanks to ABC being owned by the Mouse House -- to create a dense lore and elaborate mythos that rivals anything J.J. Abrams or Damon Lindelof could ever hope to dream of.

Once Upon a Time star Colin O’Donoghue addresses the possibility and whether he'd reprise the role of Hook. The popular ABC fantasy drama that ran from October 2011 to May 2018, expanding into comic books, novels, and even a short-lived spinoff. The show's longevity stems from its ability to blend the real world with something a little more mystical and magical, leading to questions about whether that approach could be applied to another revival or follow-up project.

In an interview on the I've Never Said This Before with Tommy Didario podcast, O’Donoghue talked about the chances of a Once Upon a Time spinoff. The actor acknowledged that the fantasy drama still had a devoted audience, though he noted that the ultimate decision about a revival would come down to Disney — which owns ABC. In the quote below, O’Donoghue also touches on whether he'd return as Hook:

Colin: I mean, that’s a big question,...

A new Tron film is underway, over a decade since the last entry, Tron: Legacy. Planned as a standalone sequel, Tron: Ares, has officially unveiled a first proper look at the upcoming sci-fi film.

In an interview with Empire, director Joachim Rnning teased what to expect from the upcoming installment, and promised the film will still maintain humanity at the core of the film while unveiling a better look at the new red suit. At the same time, it further hyped one of the most exciting parts of the film: the soundtrack. The previous installment had a soundtrack by the electronic duo Daft Punk, and the new movie will have a new sound by the rock band Nine Inch Nails.

Fairytales converge in the world of Once Upon a Time, a magical series that aired on ABC from 2011 to 2018. Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz's fantasy show follows Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), who becomes a guide to the eclectic array of characters and creatures in this patchwork town. We've met queens, princesses, princes, and villains, but in Season 2, a green-clad sharpshooter sneaks into the mix, and you may recognize his motto: steal from the rich, give to the poor. Robin Hood briefly appeared in the second season and was played by Tom Ellis. However, he was re-casted after this first appearance, returning in Season 3 as Sean Maguire.

Disneys live-action Snow White remake has been confirmed to have made a big but necessary change to the title characters name, which copies a decision Disney had already made in a TV show with a 78% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. Since the 2010s, Disney has been riding the wave of live-action remakes of some of its animated movies, and though not all of them have succeeded, the studio continues to make the most out of it. Disney still has a long list of live-action remakes coming up, and next in line is Snow White, directed by Marc Webb.

The Snow White live-action remake will keep the same premise as the animated classic, but like every other remake of this kind, its expected to have various changes. Starring in Snow White are Rachel Zegler as the title character, Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, and Ansu Kabia as the Huntsman. Snow White...

CGI has become a staple of modern filmmaking -- you can find it in almost every single fantasy or science fiction movie or television show now. It hasn't always been so prevalent. CGI is an arduous artistic process, and without huge cinematic breakthroughs like Tron: Legacy and Avatar, it wouldn't be this way. Besides directors, actors have their thoughts too -- and Jeff Bridges wants to share his.

On the Happy Sad Confused podcast, it was divulged that Jeff Bridges wasn't enthused about his CGI depiction in Tron: Legacy. The actor was speaking with host Josh Horowitz, when he gave his thoughts on being digitally scanned. He said, "Its the new thing I got scanned and in the computer for when we did Tron 2 What was it called? Legacy...I wasnt particularly fond of that recreation of myself. I thought I looked more like Bill Maher than myself."

20 years ago, “Lost” premiered on ABC and made TV history.

The series premiere was already the most expensive TV pilot ever made, but from the moment Jack (Matthew Fox) opened his eye in the pilot created by Damon Lindelof, J.J. Abrams, and Jeffrey Lieber, nothing would ever be the same. Over the course of six seasons and 121 episodes, “Lost” earned Emmys and accolades, amassed a hugely dedicated and intrepid fanbase, and changed the television landscape.

A lot has changed in the two decades since that series premiere. For some, the show’s legacy was tarnished by later seasons and particularly the Season 6 finale (agree to disagree). More troublingly, writers and actors from the “Lost” heyday have spoken out about what they found to be a sexist, racist, and generally toxic work environment. Actor Harold Perrineau was actually speaking honestly about his experiences back when he was still a series regular,...

Disney is one of the most popular and prolific production companies. While many might only associate Disney with their animated movies, Disney has also released several popular and beloved live-action movies. Movies like Enchanted, Freaky Friday and Cruella have earned the critic's love and approval just as much as the public's. However, other Disney live-action movies haven't had the same luck.

Many Disney live-action movies are beloved by audiences and have even become cult classics, but critics weren't so positive about them. Iconic movies like Hocus Pocus and The Princess Diaries received bad reviews from critics, even though many Disney fans love these movies. Even live-action remakes of beloved Disney animated movies have had the same luck, including the live-action remakes of films like Aladdin and The Lion King. However, some Disney live-action movies are good, even if they have received bad reviews from critics.

Robin Hood was recast in Once Upon A Time from Tom Ellis to Sean Maguire due to scheduling conflicts. Ellis only appeared as Robin Hood in one episode of Once Upon a Time, while Maguire played the character for over 50 episodes. Ellis's biggest TV role came later as Lucifer in a show that originally ran on Fox and later on Netflix.

Once Upon A Time featured several characters from classic tales, among those Robin Hood, who went through a recast after his first appearance. In 2011, viewers were introduced to a new take on fairy tales in Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz's fantasy adventure drama series. The TV show aired on ABC from 2011 to 2018 and came to an end after seven seasons full of magic, betrayal, and heartbreak. Once Upon A Time primarily centered around Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), who was found by her son Henry Mills (Jared S. Gilmore...

The Gaston and LeFou prequel series with Luke Evans and Josh Gad is sadly not moving forward. Evans does not explain why the prequel series was scrapped. Had the series been greenlit, potential challenges included narrative pitfalls and engaging unlikable lead characters.

Evans and Josh Gad had previously signed on to reprise their respective roles as Gaston and LeFou from Disney's 2017 live-action Beauty and the Beast for a Disney+ series set before the movie's events.

Ginnifer Goodwin is well and ready to return to her fairytale role in ‘Once Upon A Time,’ so all she needs now is a phone call. At the moment though, she’s currently lending her voice to the sequel of Disney’s hit animated movie ‘Zootopia.’

Ginnifer Goodwin – Reacts To ‘Once Upon A Time’ Reboot Rumors

Recently, fans have excitedly been sharing ‘Once Upon A Time’ reboot rumors, so much so that they may magically wish it into existence. And if producers are ever considering the possibility of rebooting the fantasy franchise – most other shows are being rebooted these days anyway, so why not? – they know who to call.

Goodwin revealed her interest in returning to the show during the Disney fan event D23, which took place in Anaheim, California, on Friday, Aug. 9.

“I hear these rumors as well [about a reboot], and I am available if they [want to do that],” Goodwin, 45, said. “I mean, I...

Once upon a time, there was a magical series filled with classic fairy tales and Disney characters thrown into the real world via a dark curse cast by an Evil Queen the show was appropriately called, Once Upon a Time. The brainchild of former Lost writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the show enchanted ABC viewers for seven seasons and 156 episodes. During a recent interview with Collider, former Once star, Colin O'Donoghue, got fans thinking about the possibility of a Once Upon a Time revival. While there's certainly an argument for the show's return, audiences don't have to wait for a theoretical revival to return to the realms of the show.

Hollywood spent the weekend paying tribute to Roger Corman, the independent filmmaking legend who died last Thursday at age 98.

Corman, known during his time as the “King of the B’s,” was a beloved producer and director who helped boost careers for names such as Jack Nicholson, Ron Howard, Peter Bogdanovich, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Jonathan Demme, Gale Anne Hurd and James Cameron.

“He was generous, open-hearted and kind to all those who knew him,” Corman’s family said in a statement. “When asked how he would like to be remembered, he said, ‘I was a filmmaker, just that.’”

In response to news of Corman’s death, many who knew and worked with the filmmaker paid tribute to him online. “A great movie maker and mentor,” Howard wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “When I was 23 he gave me my 1st shot at directing. He launched many careers & quietly lead our industry in important ways.

The Hollywood filmmaking community remembered Roger Corman today as a man who had a “can-do” attitude about making movies. Along the way, he touched many lives, blazing a path for newcomers to enter the business and others to keep the lights on through his relentless drive to produce films.

Amid that hustle, he was remembered as a kind man who had a passion for what he did.

Here are some of the reactions:

Robert De Niro:

“ I’m sorry to hear of the passing of Roger. He started many of us over the years. He was a legend. May he rest in peace.”

Roger Corman was my very first boss, my lifetime mentor and my hero. Roger was one of the greatest visionaries in the history of cinema. I am absolutely devastated by his loss and send my love and deepest condolences to the Corman family. #Rip #RogerCorman pic.

Jennifer Morrison's Emma Swan played a vital role in breaking the curse and uniting fairy tale characters in Once Upon a Time. Season 7 saw a reduced role for Emma, leaving fans questioning the decision behind her limited screen time in the final episodes. Morrison's departure marked the end of an era for the show, with Once Upon a Time never quite recapturing its original magic without Emma.

Created by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the ABC fantasy series Once Upon a Time brought new life to classic fairy tale characters. The show featured an all-star cast stepping into well-known character roles but with subtle twists. At the front of that cast was actor Jennifer Morrison, playing lead character Emma Swan. She was introduced as a bail bonds agent who encountered a son she had given up for adoption a decade before. What followed was a family story involving alternate...

Spinoff Once Upon A Time In Wonderland failed to gain traction and weakened its original show, Once Upon A Time. The spinoff, based on Lewis Carroll's novels, explored new characters and fantastical settings, but it was quickly canceled. The decision to run Once Upon A Time In Wonderland in a difficult time slot and alongside more popular shows led to its struggle and eventual cancelation.

Though expected to be a popular addition to network television, the Once Upon A Time In Wonderland spinoff series failed to take off and wound up weakening the momentum of its original show, Once Upon A Time. The idea for the spinoff series came after its forerunning show became a sensation on small screens following the lives of classic fairytale characters like Snow White, Prince Charming, Captain Hook, and more.

All seven seasons of ABC’s Once Upon a Time will start streaming on Hulu Sept. 1. The fairytale drama has been streaming exclusively on Disney+ since it left Netflix; it will now be shared by the two Disney entertainment platforms.

Exclusivity, considered paramount in the early stages of the streaming wars, has taken a back seat to media companies’ push for additional revenue and profitability. The strategy shift has led to original HBO series streaming on Netflix, for example, with NBCUniversal’s Suits also finding its way to the global streamer.

At Disney, there has been increasing cross-pollination between previously walled-up Disney+ and Hulu.

When the Writers Guild strike began on May 2, it wasn’t just union members trying to anticipate what a months-long work stoppage might mean.

A number of industry and writer-adjacent organizations on both coasts had already begun discussions about the work stoppage’s potential impact in the weeks before negotiations between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers ended on May 1 without a deal. With the memory of the three months it took to reach a deal during the last Hollywood writers’ strike in 2007-2008 on the mind, industry and entertainment-adjacent organizations were on alert.

Hey, "Once Upon a Time" fans. We've got a bit of unpleasant news to share with you guys. It turns out that your favorite show is going on a bit of a break starting tonight, Friday, November 24,2017. So, that means this next,new episode 9 will require a little patience from you guys. Fortunately, it won't require as much patience as some of the other shows that are taking a break. This is going to be a relatively short break. According to the show's Wikia page, episode 9 is currently scheduled to air on Friday night, December 8,2017 at 7 pm central standard time on ABC. So, be sure to mark that very important date down on your TV schedules. We were also able to get a few more details about episode 9. Apparently, it's entitled,"One Little Tear." It was directed by Steve Pearlman, and they hired writer Christopher Hollier and Adam Karp to pen the script.

“Once Upon a Time” underwent some big changes ahead of the currently airing seventh season, and the new path has led to a wide variety of reactions. Series co-creators Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis have observed a wide range of reactions from fans to this season, including some viewers who are enthusiastic and others who are less so.

The Once Upon a Time episode, "Beauty," did more than just tell the end of Rumple and Belle's story and explain (at least partly) how Rumple ended up in the cursed land of Hyperion Heights. "Beauty" was also fans' first proper introduction to the new Alice, even if it was mostly through her cursed persona, Tilly. Evidently, though, "Beauty" is just the beginning for Alice because in an interview with TVLine, executive producers Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz promised "epic" plans for the character.

David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson were cagey about their demon-ish spawn’s identity when I grilled them on stage at New York Comic-Con earlier this month, but the pair were slightly more forthcoming after the panel. Anderson told me the actor (whose name has yet to...

For the Once Upon a Time fans who were fretting over Emma and Hook being separated by a new curse and thus losing their happy ending, suddenly everything is clear.

Or clearer.

For as revealed on Friday night in the second episode of Season 7, Seattle police detective Rogers is not a cursed version of the Captain Hook we know but instead is actually the Wish Realm’s version of the infamous pirate.

Is “Once Upon a Time” channeling Donald Trump with its Season 7 antagonist? The ABC drama kicked off its latest run last week with a premiere that introduced viewers to Victoria Belfrey (Gabrielle Anwar), the alter ego of Cinderella’s stepmother who threatens to close down Roni’s (Lana Parrilla) bar in the present day. Series co-creators Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz spoke to TheWrap about whether they intended for the villainous Victoria to have any parallels to the real-estate mogul who currently occupies the Oval Office. “The show is not attempting to mirror current events in any direct way,” Horowitz said.

As one quickly surmised watching Once Upon a Time‘s Season 7 premiere, which relocated the real-world action to Seattle where Henry, Regina, Hook and Rumple are all strangers to each other (and other key players are Mia), “We’ve got a new curse in a new town, and a new adventure,” series co-creator Eddy Kitsis noted Friday at New York Comic-Con. “Henry is off to find his true love, and what we’re going to see is clearly some people from our past… are along for the ride.”

Change is never easy. That's a given. But big change is coming to Once Upon a Time when it returns for season seven on Friday, Oct. 6. And not everyone's thrilled about it. All summer long, talk about the long-running ABC fantasy series has centered around the decision by co-creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis to give their show a major facelift. A majority of the cast, including star and one-half of the show's beloved central relationship Jennifer Morrison, did not receive new contracts. The sleepy town of Storybrooke, home to six seasons of inexplicable (and increasingly similar) curses, was being vacated in favor of the urban Seattle neighborhood Hyperion Heights. And the characters who were sticking around...

Once Upon a Time is "resetting" things for its seventh season -- a "requel," part reboot, part sequel, as executive producer Edward Kitsis called it -- and while there will be some familiar faces, they've been cursed with new identities. Series star Lana Parrilla and EPs Adam Horowitz and Kitsis teased what to expect at New York Comic-Con.

"It's due to the fans" they're back again, Kitsis said, revealing that the way last season ended is how they wanted to end the show. But since they love writing it and wanted to keep going, they've found a way to reenergize the storytelling, with the same spirit but in new directions.
