Once Upon a Time's has cast How to Get Away with Murder star Amirah Vann for a season-long arc.

Vann, who is mostly known for three-season role as Tegan Price on ABC's How to Get Away with Murder has joined the cast of Once Upon a Time's upcoming revival as the new iteration of the in a recurring role. Her character was described as "the devious queen of Wonderland who doesn't accept the creation of the United Realms."

Once's revamped seventh season introduced new versions of characters we had seen before. One of these characters was Alice (promoted series regular Rose Reynolds). Even though Alice played an important role on season 7, we never got to see her story in New Wonderland. With Vann's casting as the Queen of Hearts, it is safe to say that Alice's backstory will be revealed.

Also set to recur in the upcoming are original cast member Jared S. Gilmore and season 7 regular Alison Fernandez. Gilmore, who plays young Henry Mills and its Wish Realm counterpart, Sheriff Henry, was one of the six actors who departed the show at the end of season 6. He returned to season 7 in a recurring role. On the season 7 finale, Wish Henry was seen with the Storybrooke's deputy sheriff badge, and it is now confirmed that we will see Sheriff Henry's story as sheriff when the show returns.

After joining the show at the end of season 6, Alison Fernandez, who portrayed Lucy, Henry and Cinderella's daughter, was upped to series regular for season 7, and was the only season 7 main whose status was not clear yet. Now we can confirm that, while Lucy is back, she is no longer a series regular.

Once Upon a Time stars Lana Parrilla, Colin O'Donoghue, Andrew J. West, Dania Ramirez, Mekia Cox, Rose Reynolds, Tiera Skovbye, Adelaide Kane, Crystal Reed, Giles Matthey and Rebecca Mader, and returns in 2020.
