Once Upon a Time's Mad Hatter will potentially get a Spin-Off; May have to Recast



The ONCE UPON A TIME universe may be expanding — Deadline reports that ABC is looking to spin off the Mad Hatter to his own series.

The only catch?

According to Deadline, Sebastian Stan (who has played the dual role of Jefferson/Mad Hatter since the first season) isn’t available to commit to the multi-year contract a spinoff would require, so the network is looking to recast the role before Jefferson/Mad Hatter returns later in the season. If the story and new actor gel, ABC might consider spinning the character off to his own series.

ABC had no comment about the rumors.

Ugh, I hope the recasting isn't true!

of all the shows...

spinoffs? what are you, The CW?
bagelsvswaffles 23rd-Feb-2013 03:36 am (UTC)
The CW has done, like, two spin-offs...
exlenne 23rd-Feb-2013 03:50 am (UTC)
The Vampire Diaries -> W/e that new show is called
Buffy -> Angel
Beverly Hills 90210 -> 90210
Melrose Place -> ...Melrose Place
Dawson's Creek -> Young Americans
Smallville -> Arrow
One Tree HIll -> OTH: The Next Generation (or is that officially dead yet?)
Sex and the City -> The Carrie Diaries

And that's not counting the planned spinoffs that never went anywhere (Supernatural, Veronica Mars, The O.C., Gossip Girl, Gilmore Girls, etc) - They basically planned a spinfoff for every hit show ever at some point.

come at me bro

They really don't get that Jefferson's appeal is 98% the actor, obviously... LOL
golden_train 23rd-Feb-2013 03:43 am (UTC)
meh. i don't care for ss but this is sounds like a terrible idea.

Don't you dare recast.

Unless you somehow find someone hotter.

GOOD LUCK.

I really like OUAT but they can't really get their shit together for 1 show how the hell are they going to do it for 2 shows?
ladysherlock 23rd-Feb-2013 04:40 am (UTC)
Jesus I KNOW. Fix the fucking problems with OUAT before you spin off. They can start by recasting Henry and sorting out the issues with adoption the showrunners obviously have.
fallenroses07 23rd-Feb-2013 07:39 am (UTC)
I will always be for recasting Henry. And omg don't even get me started on the adoption issues this show has. It sends me into rage mode
theactualworst 23rd-Feb-2013 04:11 am (UTC)
WTF it's not worth it if you recast him he's the best part.
rosewood39 23rd-Feb-2013 04:31 am (UTC)
I liked him as the Mad Hatter :( Does this mean we will finally see him again or what?
pixiegerms 23rd-Feb-2013 04:41 am (UTC)
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO x 10000000000

the only way i could be convinced to watch this is if they brought someone in as the March Hare and if they get some writers that actually know shit about Alice in Wonderland canon
war_machine_rox 23rd-Feb-2013 04:57 am (UTC)
I just don't get why it's so hard to get a decent adaptation based on the original canon.

bodyline 23rd-Feb-2013 05:08 am (UTC)
i seriously have no fucking clue, like it's not an insanely complicated text :/
danya 23rd-Feb-2013 04:58 am (UTC)
This is terrible. Why would they even make a spin off without Sebastian? He's the only reason the character is so popular.
oldgurl 23rd-Feb-2013 05:03 am (UTC)
what would be the point of recasting? Sebastian makes that role what it is and i like seeing him get in people's personal space (boy could have chemistry with a tree).

just concentrate on the show as it is now and get him in when he has free time.
