ONCE UPON A TIME ANNOUNCES MAIN CAST SHAKE-UP



Once Upon a Time will see some changes to its main cast when it returns for its ninth season on September 27th, and we have some good news and some bad news.

The good news is that Jaime Murray, who plays the fabulous Black Fairy, has been promoted to series regular. Expect to see a lot more of her as the season progresses. Considering how the last one ended, we likely have one of Once ' s famous redemption arcs ahead of us -- with a few bumps along the way, of course.

The bad news is that Rebecca Mader will be departing -- but not immediately! Zelena will still be around for the first five episodes of the season before being written off. However, as Rebecca Mader assures viewers, "This isn't goodbye! Zelena's story is far from finished." The first five episodes of the season will focus on Zelena heavily, as it will see the cast preparing for the upcoming wedding between Zelena's daughter, Margot, and her true love, Tilly.

The ninth season of Once Upon a Time premieres September 27th, 2019.
