It's been two years since Barbara Hershey's Cora, Wonderland's Queen of Hearts as well as the mother of our local Evil Queen and Wicked Witch, shocked us all by making her way to heaven -- errrr, we mean Mount Olympus. But she's finally making her way back to our TV screens.

In fact, we'll be seeing her multiple times throughout the season, starting with the 10th episode of the season, "". She will also be appearing in the midseason finale, "", and at least two episodes in the second half.

Head writer DatNuttyKid refused to delve into how exactly Cora will return from the grave and whether it will be in flashbacks, present-day events, or both -- or perhaps a Wish Realm version, like Victoria Smurfit's Cruella De Vil and Robbie Kay's Peter Pan last year (both of whom, by the way, will also be making a few appearances towards the end of the first half). Guess we'll just have to wait and see for sure.

Season Eight of Once Upon a Time will premiere on September 28th, 2018. Maybe she's involved in Mother Trudy's backstory? I'm really curious about your season. Is it literally premiering just in September or are you promoting it like that only because TV shows usually air on fall?
