Thanks for the Tiana scoop! Anything else you can share about Once Upon a Time? — Pret
How about some more Tiana news? I can exclusively reveal that Mekia Cox has been upped to series regular. The Princess and the Frog heroine, whose cursed counterpart is named Sabine, will get the flashback treatment in episode 5. "We're not redoing the movie, but we're taking it as a jumping off point," executive producer Adam Horowitz says. "We have a OUAT spin."

Jennifer Morrison is bringing back Emma Swan for just one episode this season, with the rest of the story following Hook, Regina, Rumple, and the adult Henry with his daughter Lucy.

"Once Upon a Time" Season 7 will air on a new night, Friday, starting October 6 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
