Once Upon a Time season 2 is fast approaching, and a new promo shows Pretty Little Liars star Julian Morris as Prince Phillip and Tudors actress Sarah Bolger!
While the promo only introduces Julian Morris, you can see Princess Aurora, played by Sarah Bolger of The Tudors fame. Together, the pair will bring to life the Sleeping Beauty fairytale, and who knows what parts they’ll play in the battle in Storybrooke?
In the trailer we only see them briefly on a horse together (right after Sleeping Beauty has awoken, perhaps?), as well as Phillip fighting during the night. Chances are they’ll run into Snow White and Prince Charming in the flashbacks, don’t you think?
This is the second Once Upon a Time season 2 trailer released by ABC which introduces a coming character. First it was Captain Hook, although the casting of Colin O’Donoghue for the part had not yet been announced.
It is interesting that they choose to focus this trailer on introducing Morris, although we imagine American audiences might be more familiar with him because of his Pretty Little Liars (a show on ABC’s sister channel ABC Family) background than they will Bolger, whose claim to fame was the intense period drama The Tudors.
The promo also makes no mention of the fact that they are playing Phillip and Aurora, which is in stark contrast to the Hook promo, which introduced the character rather than the actor.
Are you looking forward to the arrival of Phillip and Aurora to Once Upon a Time, and do you think they’ll focus this love story on the prince in this case as opposed to the princess, to separate the pair from the tale of Cinderella and Prince Thomas?
Season 2 of Once Upon a Time premieres on September 30. We’ve got a host of new actors joining the series alongside Donoghue, Morris and Bolger, including Jamie Chung as Mulan, and True Blood‘s Michael Raymond-James (though we still don’t know what character he’ll be playing).
