ABC has released the first two synopses for Once Upon a Time in Wonderland‘s spring return. Check them out and predict the fate of the show’s return next fall below!
Did you forget about Once Upon a Time in Wonderland? Lurking in the shadow of its parent show, Once Upon a Time, the adventures of Alice and the Knave return next week with all new episodes. During a winter press tour for ABC, creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis remarked that starting the show on a Thursday night and an extended hiatus was not their best move. However, the ABC spin-off did not meet the same fate as its Thursday night comedy companions, Sean Saves the World and The Michael J. Fox Show.
Moving forward, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland begins a stretch of five new episodes before the season ends. As you may recall, the winter finale left off with the Knave, now a genie, drifting away confined to a bottle to wait for release. Jafar’s master plan to capture and harness Cyrus’ powers for his own use, backfired and freed Cyrus leaving another to take his place. The Red Queen, turning her back on Jafar and hoping to amend her relationship with the heartless Knave, finds herself on the side of the girl she attempted to destroy for the first two-thirds of the season.
Alice’s partner and friend now needs her help and it will take a team effort to dethrone Jafar.
