EXCLUSIVE: Disney-owned ABC has put in development Epic, a romantic anthology series, from former Once Upon a Time writer Brigitte Hales, series creators/executive producers/showrunners Eddy Kitsis & Adam Horowitz, their Kitsis & Horowitz Productions and ABC Signature Studios.

Epic is a romantic anthology series set in the fairytale universe of Disney. Taking place in a Disney-like Enchanted Forest, it will center on a whole new set of new heroes, villains, princes, princesses and all manner of magical beings. While it will pay homage to the classic signposts we’re all familiar with from the stories we grew up with, Epic will endeavor to create a whole new batch of characters as it explores love in all its forms.

Kitsis and Horowitz took a similar approach with Once Upon a Time, which blended classic Disney fairytale creations and new characters. The series was a hit for ABC, which aired for seven seasons.

Kitsis and Horowitz conceived Epic with Hales, their protégé on both Once Upon A Time and Amazing Stories. Hales is writing, with Kitsis and Horowitz supervising and helping shepherd the project through the development process through Kitsis & Horowitz Prods. The trio executive produce. ABC Signature Studios, part of Disney TV Studios, is the studio.

Lost alums Kitsis and Horowitz serve as executive producers and showrunners on Apple’s upcoming Amazon Stories anthology series revival.

Hales joined Once Upon a Time in season 5 as a writer, working closely with Kitsis and Horowitz. She previously wrote for the Hulu miniseries 11.22.63.

EDIT: According to TVLine, it doesn't take place at the OUAT universe

So, I'd like to hear your opinions on it. While I don't want to get my hopes up, I can't help but feel like this is a spin-off/sister series to OUAT.

Now that the show ends tonight, I'd like to know what are your favourite moments! I'm not ready to say goodbye dammit! T,T

The second thread has almost reached its max number of comments, so we should continue here.

Seeing the press release for the finale, and after I rewatched Homecoming, I can't help but feel awe at the amazing cast. 

They managed to get all the right actors and actresses that look like they're born for the role, I can't help but feel blessed for this cast. 

Now let's get into the kick ass finale. 

Y'all, please ask interesting questions that go past, "will x character do x with x character"............

https://mobile.twitter.com/NatalieAbrams/status/992862871263629312 

I just saw that someone leaked the sheets for the final episodes, I don't want to ruin the surprise for myself, I just want to ask a couple of questions, that are burning for me:

1. Are Pan and Cruella, the ones we see, from the Wish Realm? Or are they from a book?

2. Do we see Neverland, the Underworld, New Wonderland from the Wish Realm? Or is it actually a trip to those places? Including Wish EF, I guess.

3. Without spoiling the rest, is the finale actually good?

Please keep spoilers to minimum, maybe answer yes/no.

I want to know your theories, how will she return?

Episode 19: All of Eloise/Gothel’s backstory and she wants more that world domination.

Episode 20: Young Henry returns for some college prep, the end sets in motion the larger threat going into the final finale.

Episodes 21,22: Loved by the cast, etc, etc.

“Reunite” or in other words, off himself.

One one hand, we see him often discussing how he wishes to be reunited with Belle, but it’s clear that when the Guardian takes the Darkness, Rumple is still “around”. So, he’s going to wander around for ten to twenty years? Biologically, he’s the age he was went Bae was a teen. Unless Granny’s lasagna is filled with cholesterol and heart-stopping goodness...

On the other hand, the show has in the past had this weird notion about heroes tossing themselves into the self-sacrificing fire because they “must”. So, I would hope Rumple doesn’t get free to jump at the first chance to get a one way ticket to Belle-halla.

What do you think? Maybe the show will completely alter the special effects (because they would) and make Rumple go poof right away? Otherwise, what do we expect his death to be: Heroic or mundane?

This is probably a stupid question, but looking at the episode titles for the last four episodes, none of them seem to imply a Facilier-centric. It might be 7x21, but I doubt that. Do we know if we'll have one?

At the end of season 7, many characters appear including

1. Sir Henry

2. Ariel

3. Marco

4. Cruella De Vil

5. Peter Pan and others

Some of those characters are dead...so. The way I see it, Cruella and others that are deceased so there are three options of how they could appear.

1. Wish Realm versions

2. Flashbacks

3. A spell or place the heros go and see them.

I have a feeling that the heros of Storybrooke, Hyperion Heights, and others in the realms go to a special place for happy endings for them and their deceased loved ones.

Any thoughts?

The old thread has almost reached its max number of comments, so we should continue here.

Post your ideas and thoughts down below. Personally I think the name will be Hope.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE SERIES FINALE

So, a famous fan page has a theory, they claim it as a sure thing but I don't know, that the final scene(s) of the series will involve a giant FTL party that is the presentation of the Captain Swan baby, possibly a female, and the announcement of her name.

Now, I'm hoping she is a known and iconic fairy tale character, and it's possible, just my theory here, that she may become the future protagonist if the show ever gets a revival, it could happen in the distant future maybe, I'm hopeful, and I would hope they make it a direct continuation like in season 7 which is the story of Henry, I really liked what they did to him and Robin and made them adults. So it would be cool. I wanted to see Emma and Hook's kid in season 7 as Alice but they opted for Nook. Fair enough.

Also I know they will not get Jmo back, or maybe for 1 episode, or they can cast someone as old Emma in her 60s, but I prefer the other option. I also hope they bring back Andrew J West because he is a really good actor and deserved more seasons.

What do you think? Please don't tell me that it's too soon, it's just speculation, if it is soon, we will get back to this theory in the future.

I don't quite read spoiler forums very much, so I don't know if there is a certain answer or not.

By the first episode, the places Alice visited, specially Wonderland, are mentioned. I mean, she is Alice from Alice in Wonderland novel. We have to get an episode featuring that right?

I've just checked the episodes, and the only fitting one I found was "The Guardian". But by the title of the episode, I'm not sure... And we already know the centric characters of other episodes. 

Is it really possible that we may not get a Wonderland episode? Or is there something I don't know?

A very popular thread needs a catchy name! To recap, we have been given a number of the Witches with a few unknown. We don't know if they'll reconvene in Hyperion Heights or even in flashback lore. LEt's go with that we know.

1. Eloise Gardener (Mother Gothel): A powerful Woodland Nymph 

---

8. The Eighth Witch (once filled by Regina Mills)

What do you think about this, we've seen Facilier and his cards, including the death card that brought Lucy's interest up, so who is it? Many people guess it's Rumple because the Doctor is after it but... could it be someone who is actually dying soon? I mean Rumple is set to die, but that doesn't happen until the series finale, so it's got to be someone else, Drizella I'm thinking, her death could be pretty obvious at this point but she is gonna exit soon, so maybe? Or is someone else dying at her place? So many questions and mysteries this season...
