Once Upon a Time Revival Set For 2020 Release At Disney+

On February 6, 2018, the Once Upon a Time fans were shocked to hear that the ABC hit show was going to end with its current season seven. Now, we can exclusively confirm that - after months of discussion - the show is going to get a season eight on a new home -- Disney+.

However, there's another twist on this tale: Original executive producers/showrunners Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis will not return to their duties. Instead, new showrunner Matheus Ribeiro will helm the fairytale drama series' revival.

When asked about the revival, Ribeiro said that "It has been a great honor to work alongside Disney+ on bringing back such a remarkable show. MThis is the beginning of a new partnership that will expand the Once Upon a Time Universe and, there was no better way to start it than with a 16-episode season 8."

Our sources confirm that the season will be split into two halves, both set to be released in 2020. There has been no news on returning cast members, but according to Ribeiro, we will hear more about it "within the next few days".
