#ONCE returns to #SDCC #OUAT

Always one of my fave panels, OUAT is scheduled to return.

Of course, Espenson also writes and produces on the popular ABC series Once Upon A Time, along with executive producers Edward “Eddy” Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. So putting two and two together, we reached out to network representatives for the show and received confirmation that there will indeed be a panel for OUAT at SDCC next month.

What we couldn’t confirm is when the panel will be, or who will appear on the panel. Based on Espenson’s tweet, we can speculate that herself, Kitsis and Horowitz will all be on the panel, and we can expect that the audience will be treated to some “content”, whether that is a sizzle reel for the upcoming season or an extended first look at a new scene.

Generally the OUAT panels are pretty packed with the show’s cast, so we would expect to see Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Morrison, Josh Dallas, and Lana Parrilla, and hopefully Emilie de Ravin (Belle) and Colin O’Donoghue (Hook) among others. And what about a big unveil of Frozen duo Elsa and Anna, who are as of yet uncast and slated for season four? As IGN TV’s Eric Goldman speculated on our podcast earlier this month, that would blow the roof off of Ballroom 20. Or wherever the panel is held.

OUATIW - Once Upon a Time in Wonderland TS photos

I love OUAT and OUATIW has been ok so far, it is hard to tell where it will go. I always give locally filmed shows  achance, even though they tend to get cancelled (Hellcats, Harper's Island, Life Unexpected, to name a few)

We have had long term successes too though (Supernatural, X-Files, for example) and I love Once Upon a Time.

What is neat, is being able to go to filming locations and sometimes meet the cast and see the  sets. OUAT is great for that, as Steveston is such a nice town and leaves the "Storybrook" signs up in many places. I took my daughter there last spring as they filmed the finale.

Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, however, is a lot of FX and studio filming, so I am hoping there will be an opportunity to check out exterior filming one day this season.

Do you watch the show? Thoughts?

#SDCC #OUAT Panel - Once Upon a Time

The OUAT Panel was pretty amazing. I really enjoy panels that have special things prepared.

 

On the panel:

Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Morrison, Lana Parrilla, Josh Dallas, Robert Caryle, Emilie de Ravin, Colin O'Donoghue and Michael Raymond James, along with executive producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz.

 

One of my most fave parts of this panel was "Good Morning Storybrooke" video which I have to share with you because it was so awesome:

 

 

 

Some details:

• We will see Tinkerbell and a surprising connection to someone in Storybrooke on the panel today
• Peter Pan has "complicated motivation" and may be seen as a bit scary or evil
• Show will run 11 episodes in Fall then 11 episodes in Spring to avoid the big breaks and mixed up schedules again.
• We discussed all the relationships being shipped (Swan Queens for example) writers mentioned they get a lot of tweets about who fans want together and reminded fans to be respectful of each other.
• A same-sex relationship may be coming, but they want to do it right and celebrate love
• Parrilla's fave kill is coming this season
• Hook (O'Donoghue) is a real gentleman, until his leather jacket is on then he is "a spicy gentleman" says Morrison. He adds that he is a mix of Princess Bride and his friends
• Talked about climing a screen screen with one hand (O'Donaghue) and having to bite it and get bruised up (Morrison)

 

 

Here is the "trailer" they showed introducing a red haired mermaid coming next season:




Here is the panel I found online, as I didn't record the session:
