Hey everyone!
Well, it’s that time of the year again. Pilot season. Casting announcements for all sorts of shows are beginning to come in daily so I figure that it’s time to begin my yearly thread to keep track of all of our stars.
Now usually I say that it’s only guest stars that we have to keep an eye out for but that’s not the case this year. We could potentially loose a number of our series regulars due to contracts expiring. Jennifer Morrison and Robert Carlyle have both admitted that their contracts are up and are both unsure if they’ll renew them at this stage. If those two are up, it only makes sense that the rest of our remaining regulars from Season 1 will be up as well (Lana Parrilla, Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Dallas and Jared Gilmore).
So how do pilots work? Each network films a large number of different pilots. They then test them with various audiences. The ones that have the more positive reactions are then ordered to series (meaning that they were picked-up and will definitely be airing at some stage in 2017 / 2018). The ones that don’t get picked up are usually dead however sometimes they get shopped around giving other networks the chance to buy them. The announcements regarding what has been picked up and what has been passed on usually are revealed just before the upfronts in May. Because so many of these shows do not get ordered to series, it means that our actors are not committed to a show and can remain where they currently are. For examples of this, check out the 2015 and 2016 threads.
As usual, this thread will be updated every time someone that has appeared in Once Upon a Time (or Once Upon a Time in Wonderland) gets announced for a new project.

Hmm. As much as I liked Greg Germann as Hades, I’m not sold on the pitch for this new show.
