We already know about at least one character in the pipeline: Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Exec producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz told EW in November that they had a “really exciting idea” for how to weave the rebellious sea maiden into their narrative, but that they weren’t sure whether they’d introduce her in season 1 or 2. I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for her and her dingle-hopper come fall — especially if, as rumored, she’s played by Privileged alum JoAnna Garcia.
There’s already been whispers about who’ll play Ariel? She’s the character I’m most looking forward to seeing this season.
