So I'm a little bit worried that Once Upon a Time might get canceled due to his ratings, do you think so as well??

I feel it will get canceled unless something drastic is done to spark a lot of interest in the show. The idea of fairy tale characters living as modern-day people was an amusing idea years ago. Now, it just no longer has the same pull it had.
Writers if you are reading this:
Here are some ideas that might catch the attention of the entertainment news shows:
1. If you have any connections to A-list celebrities, perhaps bring them in to play one-time characters for a series of special episodes (à la We Love Lucy)?
2. Since Disney may have access to the 21st Century Fox franchises (if the merger is approved by the Justice Department), that could be a good source of current popular celebrities who want to guest star on TV (Ryan Reynolds? Chris Evans?) or crossover with other fictional characters (Avatar, Simpsons, Family Guy, Kingsman)?
3. Experiment more with the format - an all animated episode?, an outer space episode?, a backwards timeline episode?, an all comedy-parody episode?, a live episode?, an episode where viewers vote for something on the show (such as a character getting killed off, who gets romatically involved, etc.)?
4. Flirt with more risqué or violent themes - such as the sexual mutilation of Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones

They wouldn’t have access to A-list celebrities, it isn’t in the budget of this show. I doubt they’d do an all-animated episode because that would take too much time. The other suggestions would have been better with the previous cast.
Though, making OUAT TV-14 could be a good idea, but I doubt they’d go anywhere near the darkness of Game Of Thrones because Once is supposed to be a campy series.
It would be awesome if they could get Bette Midler to play Winifred Sanderson as one of the 8 witches from the coven. Of course, it would happen cause of the budget but this is Disney after all. Some magic might happen....
Also, there are rumors Disney will dissolve ABC and all the shows will go to their new streaming service, to be launched in 2019. That also might be a factor in OUaT's fate.
What? ABC is one of the basic channels along with CBS and NBC. They aren't going to get rid of it. Hell, I'm not even sure they are allowed to get rid of it.
Disney is allowed to do whatever they want with ABC. Dissolving ABC would actually be Disney getting with the times. Television has drastically changed thanks to streaming services like Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. Network tv is all but obsolete, for anything other than local news.

Yes it needs a diffrent storyline,charchters and locations that will impress ABC and fans in order of geting Season 8 and 9 but thats not gona happen,the damage has been already done.
I do belive that if A&E went on pafth of not trying to rush and ruin OUATW this kinda storyline in season 7 whould be placed there while main show OUAT chould introduce more intresting charchters and locations.But to impress ABC you need great charchters but also actors who whould fit charchters personality and great storyline.
So my guess is that OUAT might get cancelled.
Yep that whould have been awesome if OUAT went after Season 6 on a diffrent path than its current.

Well, they are still getting millions and millions of viewers for things like The Good Doctor and Dancing With The Stars, so it is not as obsolete as you think. And again, I'm not even sure ABC can be gotten rid of. It is a basic channel.
If the writers can get the legendary Bette Midler, it should be widely promoted to bring up the sagging ratings.
I even have the perfect attention-catching tagline "Ancient legend Bette Midler resurfaces on the next Once Upon a Time."
Ugh. I hope Once gets cancelled before they start bringing in celeberties to boast ratings. I feel like Modern Family has been doing a lot of that for the past one or two seasons. Every episode it seems like they are saying with special guest star So-and-So! I feel like it's really chrapening the show.
Except that the Sanderson sisters are a huge deal in Disney lore, and we are going to have a witches arc. If they bring Winifred Sanderson to the show they can either recast her or get Bette Middler to play her again. I wouldn't be forced as it fits in the storyline
Anyway, this is waaaaaaay out of topic
