Once Upon a Timebosses drop major detail about series finale

WhenOnce Upon a Timereturns Friday, ABC will kick off the final 12 episodes of the show.

Its one last adventure, Kitsis says.

Its maybe seeing some old friends.

(And no, that doesnt mean there will be another musical episode before the finale.)

The move not to provide definitive answers seriously, whatwasthe deal with Emmas tattoo?!

feels reminiscent of the series finale ofLost, on which Kitsis and Horowitz previously worked.

Speaking ofLost, theOUATbosses reminisced over a number of references theyve slid into the show over the years.

There have been Apollo bars, of course, butOncealso included Mr.

Clucks this season and had Daniel Dae Kim voice the drive-thru guy.

At some point we should stop makingLostreferences, but we keep doing it, Kitsis says.

I think we even have like three left coming up.

Were trying to verify that we give the audience one last dose of that.

Once Upon a Timeairs Fridays at 8 p.m.
