Once Upon a Time cast revisited 15 years after the show’s debut
Once Upon a Time first aired on ABC in October 2011, telling a fantasy story across the town of Storybrooke, Maine, and the Enchanted Forest.
In the show, the Evil Queen’s curse traps fairy-tale characters in Storybrooke and makes them forget who they are.
Emma Swan returns to break the curse; she is the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, sent away as a baby.
The series drew 12.93 million viewers for its first episode and ran for seven seasons.
As viewership declined, the show ended after its seventh season, with its final episode airing in May 2018.
Cast member Lana Parrilla, who played Regina Mills and the Evil Queen, later appeared in The Tax Collector, Why Women Kill and The Lincoln Lawyer.
The series continues to attract new viewers, including former fans watching it with their children.
