In a recent interview with Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, the creators of Once:

The Overall Plot and Setting

"I can just tell you the truth. 'Wonderland' takes place post-curse. So it starts when magic comes and the wraith happens. We are in present day wonderland, post Queen of Hearts. Just like we saw in the enchanted forest [in "Once Upon A Time"], we saw pockets that were saved, and there are pockets that were saved, and similar to this, how did Alice get saved? And the Knave of Hearts is a character we're throwing around now."

But will there be "Wonderland"/"Once Upon A Time" crossovers?

"As far as the mythology of the two shows, 'Wonderland' touches upon 'Once Upon A Time' but is intended to exist as its own thing." Horowitz explained.

"I definitely think there definitely probably will be, but it will have to be in flashback… it would be really confusing to have someone say, I have to visit my friend in Wonderland," Kitsis said. That being said, one character is definitely crossing over. Maybe. "You cannot do 'Wonderland' and not bring Barbara [Hershey]. We have to ask her. I think there are many Cora stories still to be told, both young Cora and old Cora. Even though she is dead, she is very much alive in our hearts."

Still, "Wonderland" will be its own animal, one that you can enjoy whether or not you watch "Once." "We're not going to make you do the math of, that tea cup was at Granny's a week ago!' If you've never seen 'Once,' you can [still] watch Wonderland," Kitsis said. Not that you're going to see a big plug for the new show on "Once." "Our show isn't looking to do a big Alice arc. This is… It will not be like this season, Alice [comes in] and says, hey, watch my new show!"
