Looks like they are actually casting the spinoff and planning to film it in April.:
If this is indeed a direct spin-off: I think the casting call for Alice kills any theories about Jack or any other existing character doubling as Alice. Would be interesting if Barbara Hershey reprised her role as the Queen of Hearts as a recurring role.
[adrotate group="5"]I like that they said that the spin off would be its own monster separate from Once. That makes things less complicated.

We’re not in Storybrooke anymore!
Ever since news broke that creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis were working on a spinoff, Once Upon a Time fans have been waiting with bated breath for news.
And guess what? We’ve finally got some major scoop to share about the new characters viewers will be meeting in the Wonderland-centric project, including Alice!
Find out what Adam and Eddy told us about the spinoff

The pilot presentation, which is set to shoot in early April in Vancouver (where Once Upon a Time films), is currently casting three series regular roles.
Alice, a British twentysomething, is young but has already had a hard life and carries some emotional scars. Though she tries to hide it, she has a generous heart.
Next up: Amahl, who is Middle Eastern, attractive and soulful. Though he’s optimistic, which gives him a Zen dreaminess, he has an inner fire.

Finally there’s the sardonic adventurer The Knave, who is a loner and a heartbreaker. This man of action is loyal and possesses a strong moral center, despite his swagger. In the original book by Lewis Carroll, the Knave is on trial for tart burglary and Alice comes to his defense.
No word yet on the Mad Hatter role, which was portrayed by fan favorite Sebastian Stan on OUAT, but Kitsis said, “We don’t have plans to recast anyone.”
“This will be kind of its own thing,” Horowitz said of the spinoff in relation to Once Upon a Time, adding that the ABC hit will not be returning to Wonderland again this season.
Any dream picks for Alice? Excited to see a Wonderland-centric spinoff?

DO YOU THINK THAT A WONDERLAND SPIN OFF WILL WATER DOWN OUAT?
DO YOU THINK THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUAT CHARACTERS TO SHOW UP IN WONDERLAND WHEN THEY ARE NOT BUSY IN OUAT???
DO YOU THINK BARBARA HERSHEY WILL REPRISE THE ROLE OF QUEEN OF HEART?
There can be a before and after PUSH THROUGH THE MIRROR … AND even what happens after QofH leaves to find REGINA.

,I don’t think it will water OUAT down, especially if they view it as a mini-series type thing. I do wonder also if they want to do some things that are too much for OUAT as it is on at 8pm Sunday.
The story they want to tell may not even take place in the Onciverse Wonderland. It is funny though–all they have released are character descriptions and I can already imagine people pairing Alice romantically with either of the 2 others. 😆
“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

Didn’t Adam and Eddy say they aren’t recasting Jefferson?
Keeper of Tamara's death, Cyrus's bottle, Ariel's red hair, and the mermaid that got turned into a statue in the season 3 premiere episode.
It’s not quite clear if this spinoff will literally be its own thing entirely not connected to Once. I hope it is at least the same Wonderland from Once.
