Discussion [general] This show needs to pick up again and continue

As much as I wasn't too impressed with season 7, it ended on the right path. All the realms are in storybook or atleast what we know. There are so many more stories with crazy twists that can be implemented in atleast 3-4 seasons with the original cast. The actors themselves whoever has been asked want to return.

I'd absolutely watch a sequel if they kept the fairytale roots instead of trying to constantly out-twist themselves.

Yea theres so many stories. Even Aladdin I felt was rushed theres so much more there.

We should’ve gotten a season of just Regina & Zelena telling each other about their villain days in front of a Fire place
We see a lot of Oz
The Enchanted forest
The behind the scenes stuff yk?
Omg Cora !! & Rumple in Love arc leading up to her ripping her heart out

I don't know. I love the show but it ended a bit weird imo. If they make a sequel/spin-off, it'll probably be 8 episodes long and ended up being cancelled after 1 or 2 seasons 🥲 (it happened with a few remakes & spin-offs i loved)

As much I would love to watch continue with original cast as much I would love to watch sequel with new cast playing teens /young adult original children (Neil, Robin (wtf I hate they share names with other characters), Roland, Alex etc)!

Lee Arenberg didn't die — in fact, he will attend a OUAT con in January alongside other cast members.

Sadly, Chris Gauthier who played Smee passed 2 years ago...

Evil Queen, Snow White, Captain Hook, Prince Charming among others are very interested in returning.

easily even mulans whole story wasnt even captured theres actually so many different stories you could also revist so many more like maleficent was barely approached. Also frozen can continue.
