Although two other networks have declared themselves off to see the Wizard, the creators of ABC’s Once Upon a Time will not in turn fast-track their own trip down the Yellow Brick Road.
When asked if Syfy’s Warriors of Oz (a post-apocalyptic, male-fronted saga) and CBS’ Dorothy (a contemporary medical drama), projects that just recently went into development, will impact their own, previously teased plans to someday plumb L. Frank
Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Once‘s Eddy Kitsis told TVLine, “We don’t really feel the pressure” — because, for one thing, they wanted to travel to Neverland first, during the first half of Season 3 (premiering Sept. 29).
“Last year there were a few Wonderland[-based pilots],” Kitsis notes, alluding to projects at NBC and The CW. “So you kind of have to throw your hat in the ring and see what happens.” (As it turned out, out of that crop only ABC’s Once Upon a Time in Wonderland landed on a fall schedule.)
“We’ve always loved Oz — we’ve talked about it, we’ve hinted at it,” Adam Horowitz acknowledges. “And if and when we get to it, we have the way we want to do it. And if we’re lucky enough to be able to do it, we’ll just go our way.”

[adrotate group="5"]I think the second half of S3 will be SB based and some sort of lingering threat from what happened in part one of the season. Oz feels more S4 than anything else.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I hope it isn’t back to boring SB, the Charming family wanted to return to FL and I am sure they still want to go there why go back to SB there isn’t anything there. I think they will go to OZ next, then try to get back to FL from there.
All their friends are there, who are also their subjects. Also, all their belongings. And Emma doesn’t know if she wants to go back and for sure Snow isn’t going back if Emma doesn’t.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"There isn’t anything in SB anymore they closed the town down that is why all the filming is done inside not outside anymore. So they have to move on to some where else Oz, or go where Aladdin and Jafar but not back to SB.
Also, remember Emma was thinking of returning to FL after all they had grew the beans.
They moved the entire SB set indoors. The town is still standing, just on a sound stage. They are using it this season so far. We’ve seen people on it for both OUAT and OUATinWL (kid Pinocchio and Grace, for example. Not to mention Belle in SB). Having the set be moved indoors have nothing to do with them using or not using SB.
Emma was beginning to see that Storbrooke may not be the safest place in the world, but she is still very torn about where she wants to live. SB may not be safe, but that was in the wake of August’s “death.” The murdering team of GOAT have left the city and will probably not be returning to NL. Emma also knows that FTL isn’t exactly safe either; when she was there she had to deal with Ogres and Giants, not to mention villains. Two of those three elements still remain in FTL. Emma is also about to realize that NL isn’t safe, given how it is portrayed. All of this is going to weigh on her decision whether or not to move. But until she makes that decision, they return to SB. I do believe that they will eventually decide to leave SB, but that won’t come until mid way through the second half of S3 when danger continues to present itself.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I don’t remember seeing this stuff.
We’ve seen people on it for both OUAT and OUATinWL (kid Pinocchio and Grace, for example. Not to mention Belle in SB)
SB is boring returning to it wouldn’t be practical what well they all do? Snow doesn’t teach anymore, having Emma and David as Sheriff really doesn’t work. Regina goes back to being Mayor it really doesn’t make sense to do that.
I guess they can even go to the Land without Color too.
Besides I thought you said that Dorothy is the Head Office or something like that.
I think the second half of S3 will be SB based and some sort of lingering threat from what happened in part one of the season. Oz feels more S4 than anything else.
I agree.
You think SB isn’t practical but returning to FTL where their castle has been destroyed, Ogres are running all over the land, and 90% of their subjects are still trapped in another world is?? Not to mention the lack of clothing, food, provisions, weaponry, ect. And just because you think SB is boring doesn’t mean that it’s not valuable to the show or to the writers. The entire premise of the show, from the beginning, was fairy tale characters trapped in our world. SB is very important to A and E and to the Onciverse. I’m not saying they will stay there forever (of course they won’t!) but you have to give them a reason to leave and right now their goal is to rescue Henry and get back to SB, if only for a short time.
I do think Dorothy is the head of the Home Office in our world, but they can’t just throw our cast into Oz and be like “oh btw: Dorothy!” That is such horrid writing. You have to build these things. That’s why we didn’t go to NL until the end of S2; they needed to establish NL as a threat, as a place where it was possible to go. They needed to tease the story. There is an arc that must be told. Why are they suddenly going to Oz when it’s only ever been on the periphery of the show? There are 11 episodes after the holiday break and you have to build to a finale and a set up of S4.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"SB is part of the premise of the show, and I think to lose it entirely for a bunch of fairytale characters off in fantasy worlds is tricky. FTL is a wasteland, and we may end up exploring other realms too, but I think there is more to tell in SB.
A lot of people thought SB would be destroyed last season, and I did not. Even if it did, I said, it would be used for flashbacks as there is something about that modern setting that makes production easier. I also think a lot of people like the clash of modern life with fairytales.
They lose that aspect a bit to base stories exclusively around another realm.
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
