Series creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis released a statement regarding the return of the show's popular characters.
"Seven years after we set off on this magical journey, we prepare to say goodbye to the cast, crew and writers that made the 'happily ever after' that is Once Upon a Time possible," the series creators said in the joint statement that was published by E! News. "We couldn't think of a more fitting way to say farewell than by reuniting so many of the characters that our fiercely loyal fans spent years with on their adventures. We hope everyone joins our Once family, old and new, for what we hope will be the sendoff of a lifetime befitting this stellar cast and its incomparable fans," the statement went on.
ABC airs new episodes of "Once Upon a Time" season 7 every Friday at 8 p.m. EDT.
