Lady's probably right that we won't see the Queen of Hearts, but we could see the Red Queen or the Duchess in a similar role.

I expect, if we get a Season 8, Alice will be promoted to series regular, so that would open the door for even more content from Wonderland. Maybe The Girl in the Tower will even set up more Wonderland appearances in Season 8 like how Hat Trick set up Cora for Season 2. I think my head's gonna explode if they introduce a new Red Queen when we have no clue what ever happened to the old one.

The season's actually quite good and made me get over my skepticism about the whole parallel Enchanted Forest business, but parallel Wonderland made me roll my eyes over again. Ok, whatever, I'mma switch my brain off and just roll with it. Let's just pretend that Will and Anastasia lived happily ever after as the White King & Queen, shall we? That is what the epilogue of Wonderland implied happened, so I'm not sure we even have to pretend. Yes, but many many people do not understand the timeline of OUATIW when it comes to Will & Ana (because of Will in Season 4). The question isn't "what is the end of Will/Ana's story". We know that. We know that they end up living happily ever after in Wonderland as the White King and Queen some years later.

The question is, what happened between those two points? Sometime between the finale of Wonderland and Will's debut on the main show, Will and Ana were separated in a fairly heartbreaking manner that also left Will open to other relationships. We don't know how this happened, and we don't know how they reconciled in time to be the White King and Queen when Alice tells her daughter about Her Adventures in Wonderland.

Regardless, that's irrelevant. The timeline does not work for Anastasia or Will to be connected to this New Wonderland and just because they didn't resolve the first versions of characters' arcs doesn't mean they won't introduce new versions (technically, they've already introduced a new version of Anastasia as the wicked stepsister).
