'Once Upon a Time' returns for the seventh time and it will feature a reboot in terms of the story, cast and crew changes. Check out the latest news and spoilers of 'Once Upon a Time' Season 7.
Season 7 Update
Co-creator Adam Horowitz shared few details regarding the return of OUAT. This is the newest update following the on-going issues for its renewal.
OUAT previously had experienced some bumps before the network greenlit the seventh season as also several members of the main cast won't be reprising their roles. The list includes Jennifer Morrison (Emma), Ginnifer Goodwin (Snow White), Josh Dallas (Prince Charming), Jared S.
Gilmore (Henry), Rebecca Mader (Zelena), and Emilie de Ravin (Belle).
The Season 7 will feature some changes in the plot and additional characters who will join the regular cast. It will follow Henry (Andrew J. West), his daughter Lucy (Alison Fernandez) and their journey in the magical world.
'OUAT' Season 7 might be set in a new place
As the viewers witnessed the end of Storybrooke, another chapter begins for Henry and Lucy in 'Once Upon a Time' Season 7. Horowitz hints at this possibility and shares an image of the script for the premiere episode where he wrote the Season 7 pilot with the fellow showrunner, Edward Kitsis. It seems the title will be 'Hyperion Heights'.

TVLine said Hyperion has strong connections with Greek mythology.
However, the outlet pointed out that it might be a brand-new place instead. Horowitz even puts up a post featuring a plaque found in Disney studios and it seems that Hyperion Avenue was the location of Walt Disney Studios prior to 1939. TV Line also added that "Hyperion" is the name of Disney’s children’s books imprint.
'Once Upon a Time' spoilers
Fans have been speculating if the former cast members will return or not. EW exclusively reported on how the crew will deal with the absence of some of the key characters.
Horowitz confirmed that viewers will still "hear" about Snow, Charming, Belle, Zelena, and even Emma and claimed: "Yeah, we fully intend on that." Kitsis, on the other hand, stressed on their plan regarding this.
Both Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Morrison expressed their interest in reprising their roles in the future. There is a possibility that they might reunite with Hook (Colin O'Donoghue), Regina (Lana Parrilla) and Rumple (Robert Carlyle).
'Once Upon a Time' Season 7 will premiere with Episode 1 'Hyperion Heights'. It will start airing during the ABC's Fall TV season later this year.
