Disney has announced all seven seasons of ABC’s “Once Upon a Time” series will begin streaming this Friday, Sept. 1 on Hulu.
The Details
The fairytale drama has been streaming exclusively on Disney+ since it left Netflix, and now it will also be available to stream on Hulu.
As Disney works to blend the two streaming services into a single streaming app, I have a feeling we may see more of this shared availability between Disney+ and Hulu when it comes to both new and catalog titles.
But if you don’t currently have Disney+, Hulu will offer another place to get your streaming fix of the lives of Storybrooke’s residents.
The Series
“Once Upon a Time” debuted on October 23, 2011, and ran for seven seasons on ABC.
Created by “Lost” and “Tron: Legacy” writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the series is set in the fictional seaside town of Storybrooke, Maine, in which the residents are actually fairy tale characters that were transported to the real world town and robbed of their memories by Regina, the Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla), who used a powerful dark curse obtained from Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle).
Brought into this are Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) and her 10-year-old son, Henry Mills (Jared S. Gilmore), who discover they are daughter and grandson of Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas).
Making the story even more interconncted, Emma gave up her son for adoption…and his adoptive mother is none othr than Regina, providing a source of both conflict and common interest between the two women.
Over the course of the series, various other fairytale characters were woven into the show from Princesses to villains, many drawn from classic Disney films.
