'Once Upon a Time' season two to introduce Aladdin, Jafar, Ariel



Once Upon a Time creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis have revealed which fairy tale characters will appear in season two.

The ABC fantasy drama will introduce a version of The Little Mermaid's Ariel, as well as both the title character and the villainous Jafar from Aladdin, according to TV Guide.



Series star Lana Parrilla (Regina Mills / the Evil Queen) recently told Digital Spy that she wanted season two of Once Upon a Time to introduce characters from The Little Mermaid.

Horowitz and Kitsis also confirmed that they are eager to cast Lost actor Jorge Garcia on the show.

Garcia previously starred in Fox sci-fi drama Alcatraz, but the series was axed following a single season in May.

Once Upon a Time will return this fall on Sundays at 8/7c on ABC. In the UK, the series airs on Channel 5.

I've been trying to think of actresses that would be good as Ariel. Someone on tumblr suggested either Deborah Ann Woll, Candice Bailey, or Felicia Day, and also Naveen Andrews as Aladdin.

All I want to know is who is going to pay Ariel
musicnextdoor 9th-Jul-2012 08:55 pm (UTC)
same! So much pressure on her!
copasetic 9th-Jul-2012 09:27 pm (UTC)
Van Pelt from The Mentalist would make a great Ariel imo. Not just because she's got the hair, but her face is beautiful.
mirandagirll 9th-Jul-2012 09:30 pm (UTC)
I could see that.
gabzillaz 9th-Jul-2012 09:39 pm (UTC)
She's gorgeous, but I think they should cast a teenager.

What about Molly Quinn?

YES!
virgincantdrive 9th-Jul-2012 09:25 pm (UTC)
I love Mama Odie! I dressed up as her for Mickey's treat or treat and had a blast!
dasvedanyaanya 9th-Jul-2012 10:05 pm (UTC)
Wait - is this show owned by Disney? Like, are the doing all Disney characters? I thought it was based on fairy-tale books or fables, which coincidently Disney has made a lot of movies of. I could see them doing a Frog Prince but would they include Tiana since she's not in the original story technically?
arabian 9th-Jul-2012 10:52 pm (UTC)
ABC is owned by Disney; OUAT is on ABC, ergo .... they get to use the Disney characters.
mneiai 10th-Jul-2012 02:56 am (UTC)
Um, haven't you noticed Pongo, the dalmatian? Or the fact that Jiminy Cricket is a major character? They might not do ALL Disney characters, but they're basing this stuff on Disney (otherwise, they wouldn't be claiming their versions were 'dark' versions).
yurasama_love 9th-Jul-2012 08:51 pm (UTC)
Who would Hurley play?
marshallgregson 9th-Jul-2012 08:54 pm (UTC)

yurasama_love 9th-Jul-2012 08:57 pm (UTC)
I guess that makes sense.
devochkazhenya 9th-Jul-2012 09:32 pm (UTC)
wasn't Giancarlo Esposito (sp?) the Genie?
_beka 9th-Jul-2012 08:52 pm (UTC)
They better cast someone awesome for Ariel!!
hottstuffbb 9th-Jul-2012 08:53 pm (UTC)

therearewords 9th-Jul-2012 08:54 pm (UTC)
Already fearing the CGI for that mermaid tail.
taimoset 10th-Jul-2012 04:35 am (UTC)
Totally praying that they go the prosthetic route. It looks SO much better than CGI.
the_hyde_inside 11th-Jul-2012 04:48 am (UTC)
same here. And, I really hope they don't just put the actress in some fabric tale like Mermaid Phoebe on "Charmed".
cluelessraf 9th-Jul-2012 08:55 pm (UTC)
That really pretty redhead from True Blood tbh.
wonderwomanhero 9th-Jul-2012 09:23 pm (UTC)
lol that's Deborah Ann Woll
redleigh86 9th-Jul-2012 09:31 pm (UTC)
yeah!! I like her for Ariel.
devochkazhenya 9th-Jul-2012 09:32 pm (UTC)
yes get her off True Blood
lovetake_over 9th-Jul-2012 10:02 pm (UTC)

lovelyeli 9th-Jul-2012 10:47 pm (UTC)
deborah would srsly be perfect
plus she's great at acting like an annoying teenager haha.
yinker 10th-Jul-2012 02:37 am (UTC)
perfection!
the_hyde_inside 11th-Jul-2012 04:50 am (UTC)
Yes! Deborah Anne Woll would be perfect.
aredhela 9th-Jul-2012 08:55 pm (UTC)
Are they going to film underwater scenes for Ariel in the fairytale world then? That's gonna be hard for a tv show.
theratwhispers 9th-Jul-2012 08:57 pm (UTC)
It's probably going to look like H20: Just Add Water, lmao.
mellarks 9th-Jul-2012 08:59 pm (UTC)
I love that show, t b h.
itscomicrelief 9th-Jul-2012 09:31 pm (UTC)
LBR, they should get someone from H20
geekchicrichie 9th-Jul-2012 09:02 pm (UTC)
why would it be hard for a TV show? :S
I can think of plenty of shows that have had underwater scenes.
imnotasquirrel 9th-Jul-2012 08:55 pm (UTC)
felicia day as ariel? idts.

now that i've seen felicia outside of eureka, i think she's okay enough, but still. dnw.

i'm mainly interested in seeing jamie chung as mulan. i haven't watched this show aside from the pilot, but i think i'll tune in for mulan's eps.
redleigh86 9th-Jul-2012 09:32 pm (UTC)
yeah, Ariel is fearless not neurotic and I've yet to see Felicia Day in a role where she doesn't play a neurotic nerd girl.
missmal 9th-Jul-2012 10:26 pm (UTC)
Let us also not forget that she's a horrible actress that would taint the show with her very presence.

I feel this point is important. :-D
bellwetherr 9th-Jul-2012 10:03 pm (UTC)
ugh felicia day's grab on the nerd cult is so annoying.
mneiai 10th-Jul-2012 02:57 am (UTC)
Yeah, she only really plays the same character over and over again, and that's not a character that they could make into Ariel.
jhopewood 9th-Jul-2012 08:56 pm (UTC)
Can not wait to see who is Ariel!
mhfromnh 9th-Jul-2012 11:38 pm (UTC)
your icon would be good...
whutness 10th-Jul-2012 12:42 am (UTC)
If Karen was Ariel I would be hft
theratwhispers 9th-Jul-2012 08:56 pm (UTC)
How are they going to do the underwater stuff?
avilewoman 9th-Jul-2012 08:57 pm (UTC)
Ariel is my least favorite Disney princess and even I am excited about this news. But BOOOO @ Aladdin and Jafar but NO JASMINE. I hope they just haven't revealed yet that she will be featured.
anchors_oceans 9th-Jul-2012 09:26 pm (UTC)
i want jasmine so bad but since she's my favorite, i don't think that anyone could do her justice. i'd rather not see her than have someone ruin her tbh.
saffronshire 10th-Jul-2012 05:46 am (UTC)
Jasmine is my favorite along with Belle. I was disappointed with what they did with Belle, I hope Jasmine will live up to my high expectations.

devochkazhenya 9th-Jul-2012 09:33 pm (UTC)
ikr Jasmine was my favorite disney princess
springmoon 10th-Jul-2012 11:10 pm (UTC)
Maybe Jasmine will be introduced later.
nuravecunt 9th-Jul-2012 08:57 pm (UTC)
But what of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys?
lulubelle007 9th-Jul-2012 09:12 pm (UTC)
oh i would loooove that
actxappalledx 9th-Jul-2012 10:58 pm (UTC)
They don't have the rights to J. M. Barrie's story, so they're not planning on featuring it yet

"Kitsis and Horowitz also revealed that due to rights issues, Peter Pan and Captain Hook probably won’t appear on Once anytime soon."
arcadiaego 9th-Jul-2012 11:33 pm (UTC)
Peter Pan is owned by Great Ormond Street Hospital and I think there's been some problems with rights, even though Disney clearly own the animated version.

Super late but GOSH is such a great institution. The chapel brought tears to my eyes.
lovedhurtlost 9th-Jul-2012 08:57 pm (UTC)
Isn't Naveen too old to be Aladdin?
bellwetherr 11th-Jul-2012 04:23 am (UTC)
Way too old. Aladdin was a kid.
hardcoreninja11 9th-Jul-2012 08:57 pm (UTC)
Ah yeeeah, Aladdin is ma boy.

I felt such a kinship to Ariel when I was a kid because we both have red hair and blue eyes. Lame. LOL.
buncha_cruncha 9th-Jul-2012 09:22 pm (UTC)
Don't worry, you're not lame!! I felt the same way with Belle because we both have brown hair and hazel eyes, lol
camillesaens 12th-Jul-2012 12:54 am (UTC)
the reason why i love jasmine.

loll
