EW 1/10 – ABC Boss on 'New Direction' in Potential Season 7

[hjbau]

Jennifer has to do conventions. The way she talks about this show is completely different then she used to in the early seasons. She hasn’t been excited in years. She got a little interested talking about the Dark Swan and her research into addiction for that storyline, but they did nothing for her with that. She did all that character research for nothing. Now she is all about the directing and her other projects. She does what she is required to do for Ouat, but that is it.

Well, there is this article with Robert Carlyle https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/jan/08/t2-trainspotting-robert-carlyle-begbie-interview?CMP=twt_gu where he said: “I’m at the stage where even though Britain is in a mess politically, I think it’s time to pack up and come home.” So I think that means that he is pretty much done with OUAT and that season 6 is his final season.

I really don’t want a spinoff.  I want the entire show to wrap up.  I don’t want some characters getting conclusions and taking a bow while others stay on for more stuff.  How can they possibly think they can milk this anymore then a seventh season?  I know ratings across the board are bad but I mean come on.  What else is there?  What else could the writers have cooked up for future seasons?

Yeah same. But based on how the one spin off did (poorly!) I doubt that’s an option.

I wonder if the “New Direction” will involve them finally opening the show up (in our world) beyond Storybrooke.  I know we have made a couple of trips to “New York” and other locations in flashback, but it could be interesting to see characters (both with or without magic) out in the rest of the world.

I am genuinely intrigued about how Adam and Eddy would envisage the show in a “new” form. I am really struggling to think of other directions that they could potentially go in, even if they did pretty much start from scratch with the cast.

New direction: the entire realm gets magic. Endless plots.

I would be in favor of them dropping Stroybrooke or just having Stroybrooke be in the Enchanted Forest instead of the real world. They should have done that in Season 3 or at least done an open portal. I like Storybrooke, but the problems it causes by separating characters from each other just needs to end.

Hi All! Hope you’ve had a great holiday period and came in to the new year on a good note 🙂

Im exited to hear that there is a good chance Once will get its 7th season. Thats the perfect number for this show, since 7 is THE fairytale number. I doo very much love this show- But I really dont feel they should go beyond that either, as many of you have pointed out the show has run its course.

Also havent they talked about rebooting the show before? Im afraid that ANOTHER reboot would just be more of the same. I hope (for all the actors sake) that they will be set free to go do new stuff.

I think the only three likely staying no matter what are Emma, Hook, and Regina.

Bobby and Emilie are most likely. Wrap up Rumbelle, give them a happy ending with turning Gideon back into a baby and leaving to New York to start over.

Gosh can go either here or there.

Bex is useless on this show, she does nothing and has horrible screentime. Jared may want to be a normal teen.

This I would be in favor of.  Storybrooke has brought this show down.  It has become quite a boring town.  If they are going for a sort of reboot, they should change filming locations and keep Storybrooke out of it.
