I guess I'll go ahead and make the first announcement about my season:


 * It will be split into two half-season arcs. The theme of the first half will be "Believe in your family."
 * Colin O'Donoghue (Hook/Wish Hook) and Robert Carlyle (Rumplestiltskin) will not be returning as series regulars. Both are planned to make at least one guest appearance in the season.
 * Ginnifer Goodwin (Snow White), Josh Dallas (David Nolan), and Rebecca Mader (Zelena) will be promoted back to series regulars. Agnes Bruckner (Lily) will also be promoted.
 * Kristin Bauer van Straten (Maleficent), Karen David (Jasmine), Georgina Haig (Elsa), Deniz Akdeniz (Aladdin), Joanna Metress (Guinevere), Sinqua Walls (Lancelot), Amy Manson (Merida), Anastasia Griffith (Kathryn), and Teri Reeves (Dorothy) are booked for returns in the first half of the season with the potential for multiple appearances. More returning guests are to be announced.
 * Henry Ian Cusick (Lost, Inhumans) and Dove Cameron (Disney's Descendants, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) will both fill major recurring roles during the first half of the season. Zelda Williams (Dead of Summer) is booked for a guest appearance.
 * Former series regulars Jennifer Morrison (Emma), Emilie De Ravin (Belle), Jared Gilmore (Young Henry/Wish Henry), Emma Rigby (Anastasia), Michael Socha (Will Scarlet), Meghan Ory (Ruby), and Gabrielle Anwar (Rapunzel Tremaine) are planned to make at least one guest appearance at some point in the season.
