Uh Guys? The makers said they had no end date plans for ABC.

The end of Once Upon A Time is not in sight, the show’s executive producers have confirmed.

The fantasy drama is safely renewed for Season 6, but is already eyeing a seventh and possibly more seasons.

Speaking to EW, EP Adam Horowitz noted that while he roughly knows the endpoints for the main characters, there are no current plans for Season 6 to be the last in the series:

“We certainly have endpoints in mind for many of our characters and where we want the story to go and finish up, but we have different ways of getting there,” Horowitz says. “We’re not, at this point, setting a specific end date for the show. But what we are doing is taking the luxury of knowing we have another season to be able to continue our long-term planning.”

Contrasting Once Upon A Time‘s lifespan with that of master serial LOST, which ended after six seasons having secured its end date three seasons in advance, he said:

“It’s a different thing than Lost. There are some similarities in our storytelling — that’s where we came from — but Lost was a much more closed-ended show that needed that kind of ending.”

Barring the cancellation reaper/ratings, looks like Once Upon A Time wont be getting lost for a while yet (though a lot can change in 12 months).
