ABC has announced their schedule at the upfronts today.
http://www.spoilertv.com/2013/05/abc-fall-201314-schedule.html
Once Upon a Time will stay at 8pm on Sundays
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland will be at 8pm on Thursday (leading into Grey’s Anatomy, so they must have a lot of faith in the show and want it to do well)
A balanced slate of new series and returning hits delivered strong results for ABC in the 2012-13 season. ABC claims 6 of the Top 20 broadcast dramas for the season in Adults 18-49, with “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Once Upon a Time,” “Revenge,” “Scandal,” “Castle” and “Nashville.”
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"May 14, 2013 at 4:04 pm #194231RumplesGirlKeymasterI am unsure what this means in terms of the hiatus issues we’ve been having. I had predicted that ONCE:WL would air during the Winter break after we got 11 straight episodes during the fall and then 11 straight episodes in the Spring.
I really hope ABC has a plan for the scheduling issues."He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"May 14, 2013 at 4:09 pm #194235obisgirlParticipantTHURSDAY

Master storytellers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz (“Lost,” “Tron: Legacy”) invite everyone to Storybrooke, Maine, a small town that probably won’t show up on one’s GPS. To ensure that no one in fairytale land – especially Snow White – had anymore “happily ever afters,” Evil Queen Regina cast a curse which trapped the fairytale characters, frozen in time, and brought them into our modern world. Although still alive, they had no knowledge of their former selves and were sleepwalking through life – ageless — for 28 years, until their savior arrived in the form of Emma Swan. Unbeknownst to Emma, she was the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming who whisked her out of fairytale land and into our world as an infant to save her from the curse. Abandoned as a baby, Emma’s life was anything but magical. When her 10-year-old son, Henry, whom she gave up for adoption years ago, appeared on her doorstep with a book of fairytales and told her a crazy story about how she’s the prodigy of fairytale characters who are all trapped in a town called Storybrooke, she thought he was nuts. But curiosity got the better of Emma, and she brought Henry back to the town and soon found out that Storybrooke was more than it seemed. Regina, ever the control freak, had placed herself as Mayor of the town and was Henry’s adoptive mother. Over time Emma began to see through the cracks of the curse, believed that the stories were true and was finally able to break it. Reality and myth merged as the fairytale characters began awakening once the curse was lifted and remembered who they were. But to their dismay, they weren’t transported back to fairytale land. To make matters worse, Rumplestiltskin – aka Mr. Gold – decided to gain the upper hand in his power struggle with Regina and introduced magic into the town. But this is our world, and magic has a tendency to have unfathomable implications.
“Once Upon a Time” stars Ginnifer Goodwin as Snow White/Mary Margaret, Jennifer Morrison as Emma Swan, Lana Parrilla as Evil Queen/Regina, Josh Dallas as Prince Charming/David, Emilie de Ravin as Belle, Colin O’Donoghue as Hook, Jared S. Gilmore as Henry Mills and Robert Carlyle as Rumplestiltskin/Mr. Gold.
Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz are creators and executive producers. Steve Pearlman is also executive producer. The show is from ABC Studios.
Looks the cast is going to remain the same for now! Colin was added as a regular after the midseason, so the same could happen for MRJ
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"May 14, 2013 at 4:14 pm #194238RumplesGirlKeymasterI’m seeing some chatter in various places that the Wonderland spin off is in the “death” slot. Anyone want to comment on that? I thought putting it in the lead in to Grey’s would be huge given the cult followings of both shows.

It’s because ABC has struggled to find a good performing show in that particular timeslot for the past several years. Probably because CBS dominates that timeslot with The Big Bang Theory.

I thought TBBT wasn’t on until 9 though? Because it’s killing American Idol and Grey’s is taking small hits because of it.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"May 14, 2013 at 4:25 pm #194243schmackyParticipantI’m so confused. I thought the whole point of Once: WL was to be a winter hiatus show. Has that completely changed? Is it a full 22 ep order?

I am super confused about that too. I had really hoped it would be the winter hiatus show which would keep people interested in ONCE. I’m a little nervous that ABC is going to continue with the same schedule with all the breaks that, frankly, really hurt us this year.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"May 14, 2013 at 4:45 pm #194250MatthewPaulModeratorSomeone on TVByTheNumbers said that apparently ABC stated somewhere that they plan to split their Sunday dramas with 12 episodes airing in the Fall and the 2nd half airing in the Spring, so I hope I’m right.
