For the fans, they get that as well, too. It’s created what we think are lifelong friendships and bonds that have been incredible. And cast members who left last year, we still see them all the time and we’re friends.
Taking aside all the creative stuff about this show, it’s been one of the joys about making this show, which is all the amazing people that we’ve been able to collaborate with, from the cast to the crew to the studio and network. But as life moves on, people go in different directions and do different things. They were all great friends of ours and we really enjoyed working with them. For fans who miss the original cast, we miss them, too. I think we’ve done some great episodes, and some of our best episodes yet are still to come this season. I don’t have any regrets about it at all. I loved working on them with the people, so I have zero regrets, but for the fans who felt like that should’ve been the ending, then for them, it is. I loved a lot of the episodes we did this year.
Once, if you remember, was every critics’ prediction to be the first show canceled, so we wanted to see what would happen if we shook it up and moved on. I don’t ever regret taking a creative risk because that’s why we got into this business. For us, we ended it the way we wanted to, but we were all still having fun and we wanted to see what would happen if we shook it up and did it. KITSIS: That’s a weird question in the sense that if fans wanted that, they had the option of that: They didn’t have to watch this season. Do you have any regrets about this rebooted season?
#ONCE UPON A TIME SHOW SERIES#
Some fans would’ve liked the series to end with the original cast. KITSIS: It’s time to declare victory and go home. This has been an amazing 156 episode-run, and let’s all be proud of what we’ve done and try to wrap it up.” We reached that point where it’s like, “Okay, now it’s time to wrap it up. Ultimately, it’s also a business, so it becomes about, “Is it financially viable to keep going forward?” so there’s all that kind of stuff, stuff that we generally don’t deal with because we’re just focused mostly on the creative. The network has been incredible partners with us the whole way, as has the studio. We’ve had conversations for a while about what this year would be, and whether it would go on or not, and if this could be the end, so we’ve been prepared for this for a while. For us, we’re like, “It’s a hell of a run.” We never thought we’d get to seven episodes, let alone seven years.ĪDAM HOROWITZ: It wasn’t like it was a shocking phone call. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What came with the decision to end the show? Was that ABC’s decision or yours?ĮDWARD KITSIS: Listen, we love this show, we were happy to continue going on, but collectively they felt that, after seven years and 156 episodes, it was time.
