There will be no Swan song for "Once Upon a Time" just yet.

Ending months of speculation about the fantasy drama’s future, ABC has ordered a Season 7, it was announced Thursday by exec producer Adam Horowtiz on Twitter.

"7. #OnceUponATime #ThankYouFansandAbc"





Set in a small Maine town populated by fairy tale characters (plus a bail bonds woman-turned-Savior), "Once" premiered in 2011 to 12.8 million total viewers and a 4.0 demo rating, marking that TV season’s highest-rated drama launch.

The past few seasons have seen a marked decline, however, hitting a demo low of 0.5 as recently as April 23. As such, the plan is to “reset” the narrative for Season 7, focusing on a young adult male (Andrew J. West) and a 10-year-old girl (Alison Fernandez), with a TBA portion of the original cast continuing on in starring or recurring capacities.

What that tweaked series looks like will be hinted at in the two-hour season-turned-series finale, airing Sunday, May 14 and promising “The Final Battle” between good and evil.



As was reported on Monday, Jennifer Morrison has left the series but agreed to appear on one episode of "Once's" 7th Season.
