Once Upon a Time has just announced the presence of three new recurring actors on the second half of its  -- welcome Beau Bridges, Catherine O'Hara, and Lucy Punch to Once’s magical universe. They are set to début in the first few episodes of the second half.

Punch and Bridges will first appear in the midseason premiere, "". While their fairytale roles are being kept under wraps, we can exclusively reveal that their Seattle identities as known as Sapphire and Randolph, respectively.

Sapphire is described as "a strong warrior who deals with a tragic past which happened because of her twisted goals in life. She'll fight to be once again with the people she once loved, but that task isn't going to be easy -- and she knows that." Sapphire was also announced to "take the role of a few characters from well-known stories", and to "have a special connection with two of our main characters".

Randolph is described as "a nobleman [who] has a good heart but is really naive sometimes, which often leads him to trusting the wrong people and consequently committing mistakes which he regrets a lot. He would do everything to make sure his loved ones are happy, and to fix the wrong things he did in the past."

Now, about O'Hara... She is playing the third of the Three Fates, Atropos. Her character is joining Hattie Morahan's in the group of the Fates, but no other details were given besides her first appearance -- the twelfth episode, fittingly titled "". All three characters were said to play a "crucial role" on the season's back half.

The eighth season of Once Upon a Time airs every Friday, on the Once Upon a Time Wiki.
