ABC announced on Tuesday that the seventh season of “Once Upon a Time” will be its last.
Series creator Adam Horwitz released a statement thanking fans for all their support.
“Seven years ago, we set out to create a show about hope, where even in the darkest of times, a happy ending would always be possible,” Horowitz says.“But we never imagined the happy ending that was actually in store for all of us — years and years of adventure, romance, magic and hope. We’re so grateful to our brilliant collaborators — the cast, crew, and writers — as well as our partners at the studio and network for making this journey possible. But most of all, we want to thank the fans. Their fierce loyalty and devotion was the real magic behind ‘Once Upon a Time.’ We hope they join us for these last few hours as we journey to the Enchanted Forest for one more adventure.”

The show had revamped itself with some major changes following the departure of series leads Jennifer Morrison and Ginnifer Goodwin in season six. Season seven focused on an adult Henry Mills, his daughter Lucy, Henry’s wife and Cinderella, Cinderella’s stepmother and stepsisters.
LGBT characters occasionally were featured on the show. In season three Mulan developed feelings for Princess Aurora but didn’t act on them.
Dorothy and Ruby were the show’s first LGBT couple when Ruby saved Dorothy from a sleeping spell with true love’s kiss. Show creators also hinted that season seven would include a “prominent gay storyline.”
“Once Upon a Time” returns from its winter hiatus on March 2 at 8 p.m. on ABC.

This John Waters interview has been edited for readability — but perhaps not human decency
Pope of Trash dishes on Trump, plane etiquette, last meal, and more
By WESLEY CASE | At 80 years old, John Waters is still the ideal dinner guest — incisively sharp, quick-witted and funny as hell.
The chic Baltimore native proved it again and again in a recent Zoom interview, calling from his summer home in Provincetown, Mass.
The occasion was the Blu-ray releases of two of his movies — the 1977 dark comedy “Desperate Living” and his enduring 1988 musical “Hairspray” — on June 23 by the Criterion Collection, which publishes restorations of films it deems culturally important. The Criterion stamp of approval has become the gold standard among cinephiles.
“It’s like getting an award,” said Waters, who wrote and directed both films.
