What fans can count on come "Once Upon a Time" season 7 is that there will be versions of the same character in the same plane of existence.
The answer is we will see new iterations of characters we may have met, but there will not be like six Cinderellas going around. We are not going to go to seven different worlds where eight Cinderellas band together to fight eight different Lady Tremaines.
While Emma will not be appearing longer than fans want to in "Once Upon a Time" season 7, the Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla) might. They even teased: "Wait, which Evil Queen?"
In another interview with Entertainment Weekly, the pair also teased that they will explore multiple books in the new season, hinting that there are also other authors out there other than Henry (Andrew J. West). Horowitz went on to say:
Different books have different mythologies, so it's not like we're going to tell the Author mythology the same way, or the Dark One mythology the same way. There's going to be new things and new mythology to explore.
"Once Upon a Time" season 7 premieres Friday, Oct. 6, on ABC.
