Also, Esk, Killian, and Hmcooper, do any of you guys have any stories you can think of that you don't think would get onto the first Once show, but could work on a sequel series? I know it is a bit of a tricky question given that the main show isn't over yet. It's tricky because it's a rather unconventional question. I've seen "What stories for next season?", "What stories for a spin-off", but "What stories for a sequel series?" is speculation on a weird hypothetical. A spin-off is hypothetical, but not unknown because it has happened before, but a sequel series when we haven't a clue what even the next season filled with Untold Stories will consist of. But then again, I'm being slightly harsh because this  "sequel series" is just another name for spin-off, XD.

If they kept their eggs in a basket or something than they could have done newer Disney and popular, more recent things, like Cruella etc, but of course, not a spin-off in the future because then it would get rid of all the suspense of this main show. To me, a spinoff takes place co-currently with the main show (like Wonderland did), Another example would be Private Practice that took place co-currently with the show it spun off from, Grey's Anatomy. A sequel series is something that would not come out until after Once had finished it's run, and would take place when Henry is at least 28, if not older. I wouldn't be opposted to it being later either. Maybe the show could start with Henry's death as an old man. That way we'd only have the current babies that could make appearances on the show, and even then they would be rather old. Well, as an aside, it would probably crash and burn then. Once isn't still standing simply because of its new stories, but because of the investment in the characters we know and love. But I guess we'll simply have differences of opinion. (Lol, a show about cranky old people....guess they'll be great actors XD). I would say sequel would involve the former characters in some way because otherwise, it's not really a sequel. Henry's too minor (see screentime thread) to really consier it a sequel unless there's some Regina and Emma cameoes and the immortal Rumple as a potential future villain.

Then, guessing stories would lead to the same result as what story we want for spin-offs. Oh, I don't mean the show would focus on the babies (who would then be old people), I mean an entirely new set of characters would be the mains. Basically, it would be a whole new story set in Once's universe. That's what I'm picturing.
