Schroe essentially summarized what I was going to post (but it was a wall of text).

A slight but more to the side, though.

I think Once is dead-dead. The best one can hope for is a “shared universe show”/crossover event and that’s by a show runner that’s a fan/writer/creator of Once. I think some fans are blinded by nostalgia and their love for the show and it’s place in reality. Once had a great chance at being “the show” as a number of shows have accomplished, but it didn’t. So, the chances of it coming back are slim to none.

The idea of a reboot is tempting but Disney has often done a Disney crossover show without one relating to another. Plus, Once doesn’t give way to a generic template (unknown hero to save people from doom) that hasn’t been used many times over on the show itself. Basically saying, the show burned through Disney properties and reused it’s major plot devices to give way to “revive the show”.

Merchandise is even slimmer because they’d only do that if the show would return or there’s aenough money to be made and I don’t think there is. Comics don’t really do as well as some may think (I believe that’s the reason why we had more novels over comic books) and I highly doubt we’d get any novels either.

Not a Debbie downer, just more realistic.
