=Once Sets Premiere Date and More!= ABC's ninth season of Once Upon a Time has announced its release date: Friday, January 17, exactly five weeks from today. The slightly later release date is due to showrunner Colton M. wanting to map out the whole season before release.

In other Once-related news, Natalie Martinez (Under the Dome) has been cast as an aged up Lucy, in a series regular role.

Additionally, Eion Bailey, Rose Reynolds, Agnes Bruckner, and Giles Matthey have been confirmed to have been demoted, though at least Matthey will make recurring appearances throughout the season.

ABC's Once Upon a Time returns Friday, January 17, 2020.
