This week, we have Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, who went on to create the ABC show Once Upon a Time (which returns September 30) following their writing work on all six seasons of Lost.

    OUAT – Kitsis and Horowitz talk Season 2 before the Comic-Con panel

    Once Upon A Time showrunners Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis talked to TV Guide about some season 2 plot lines – Regina’s hidden past, Emma and Mary Margaret’s relationship, and are we going to see Cora again?

    Caution – spoilers ahead. 

    Regina’s Shocking Origin Story, Storybrooke Future and More Once Upon a Time Scoop

    Magic has come to Storybrooke, and with it, a whole lot of consequences.

    In the Season 1 finale of ABC’s Once Upon a Time, the Evil Queen’s (Lana Parrilla) curse upon our favorite fairy-tale characters was broken, but Mr. Gold (Robert Carlyle) had another trick up his sleeve: release magic upon the real world. What does this mean for Storybrooke in Season 2? And why weren’t the residents of Storybrooke transported back to fairy-tale land?

    OUAT – Adam Horowitz & Edward Kitsis renew their deal with ABC and Disney

    Once Upon A Time executive producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz have renewed their contract with ABC for another 3 years. Even though this does not mean an automatic renewal for Once Upon A Time, it gives us hope that more upcoming seasons seem promising. This article also confirms that Kitsis and Horowitz’s creative minds and out-of-the-box thinking will be with OUAT until the end of its run (whenever that may be). We hope later rather than sooner. 🙂
