EMMA, SNOW, CHARMING, RUMPLESTILTSKIN, HOOK AND REGINA ENTER NEVERLAND TO SAVE HENRY BUT ARE GREETED BY A SCHOOL OF NOT-SO-FRIENDLY MERMAIDS WHO THREATEN TO END THEIR SEARCH BEFORE IT BEGINS, AND NEAL – WITH MULAN’S AID IN THE ENCHANTED FOREST – TRIES TO DISCOVER THE FATES OF EMMA AND HENRY, ON THE SEASON PREMIERE OF ABC’S “ONCE UPON A TIME”
Master storytellers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz (“Lost,” “Tron: Legacy”) invite everyone to join Emma Swan, Snow White, Prince Charming, Rumplestiltskin, Hook and the Evil Queen Regina as they travel through a portal on the Jolly Roger in an effort to reach Neverland and save Henry. But Neverland is a much darker place than you remember, and in order for our heroes to accomplish their mission, they’ll have to face a foe more powerful than the Dark One himself. What does Peter Pan want with Henry? Can our heroes put aside their differences and work together? Will Aurora, Mulan and Prince Phillip be able to nurse Neal back to health and reunite him with his family? New fairytale characters will be revealed and old acquaintances will be revisited. So think of a wonderful thought… because our Neverland’s going to be a fever dream that just won’t break.
