Alice, The White Rabbit, The Red Queen, Jafar and the Jabberwocky are all about to be homeless. ABC recently canceled the short lived spin-off series, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, meaning we might have to say goodbye to a few of our fairy tale friends. However, the original Once Upon a Time is still going strong, and it is entirely possible that a few pals pop back up the parent series.
During the Television Critics Association's winter press tour, Paul Lee, ABC’s entertainment group president, attributed the show’s low ratings to airing it on Thursdays, instead of a between season replacement for Once Upon A Time:
"That would have been a natural audience to go through there,That Thursday slot is difficult. We loved the idea. We knew the creative was great, and so we loved the idea of having a run of empowered women going all the way through Thursday night. What we didn’t want to do is play defense on Thursday when we wanted to play offense. But in retrospect, I think it would have done better there, and I should have stuck to the earlier idea. … I totally take responsibility for that."
However, despite its poor ratings, the series has a loyal fanbase that has grown attached to its characters.
One reader, going by the user name Amber, left an impassioned plea to keep the show going, in the comments section of one our recent articles, writing:
“PLEASE KEEP WONDERLAND!!!!!!!!!! IT IS IN MY TOP LIST OF FAVORITE SHOWS AND WOULD BE HEARTBROKEN TO SEE IT GET CANCELED ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE IN MY HOUSEHOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
That reader is not alone. The show’s cult like following might be too small to keep it on the air, but it could be enough to see some of Wonderland’s favorite characters climb out of the rabbit hole, and all the way to Storybrooke.
We will have to wait until next week to see who all survives the series finale. Would like to see the Wonderland characters live on in main series? If so, what characters do you want to return? Let us know in the comments section at the bottom of the page?
