Production edit

Development edit

On May 10, 2013, after the success of Disney's 2013 film Oz the Great and Powerful, ABC ordered Once Upon a Time for a third season, which premiered on September 29, 2013. The same month, it was revealed that the season will feature crossover episodes connecting with the upcoming spin-off series Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.[23] On August 4, 2013, it was announced that the season would be split into two parts, with the first eleven episodes premiering from September 29 to December 2013, while the second half would broadcast from March 9 to May 2014.[24]

The first eleven episodes were set primarily in Neverland;[25] co-creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis spoke about the setting of the third season stating, "Neverland is a land of belief, a land of imagination, and a land where all our main characters are being stripped down to their core. It's really allowing us, as writers, to dig deep into who they are and to push them forward to new places. I think being in Neverland is going to have a profound effect on each of the characters. It's really fun to see these characters and dig deep this year and explore what it's like for Emma to [be with] her parents. Neverland is really a place where we can sit down and think about that."[26] The two also noted that Peter Pan will feature in the season but will be a more "complicated" version of the character, with Kitsis saying, "We have not yet met Peter Pan and we have not yet seen Neverland, and that is where we're going!"[27] In a further interview, Horowitz stated, "Well for us, Neverland is kind of a place that makes you confront your past. It's sort of the heart of darkness and to be a 200-year-old person, you know because you don't grow up there, you have to keep yourself amused. However long Peter Pan has been there and for whatever reason he has been there, we intend to reveal our take on that and on the legend of Peter Pan. We have a way that it intertwines with our Once Upon a Time mythology that we're really excited to unveil".[28] At Disney's D23 Expo event, the creators hinted at romantic sparks between Emma Swan and Captain Hook, and revelations about how Hook became a pirate.[25] On March 10, 2014, the producers revealed that they may look ahead at incorporating characters from the films The Princess and the Frog, Brave, and Frozen in future episodes, possibly towards the end of the third season if they get the green light from Disney.[29] Later that month, it was announced that the season finale will air on May 11, 2014, and have a duration of two hours.[30]

However, Ory stated that she would still be open for more episodes on the show as a guest member.[31] Ory later made appearances in episodes 12, 13, and the season finale. The same month, it was announced that Michael Raymond-James had been promoted from a recurring cast member to a series regular for the season.[32] In July 2013, it was reported that Giancarlo Esposito would be returning as Magic Mirror/Sidney Glass following his absence from season two.[33] In the same month, it was announced that the role of Robin Hood had been recast from Tom Ellis to Sean Maguire.[34] British actor Robbie Kay played the role of Peter Pan, the villain for the first half of the season.[35] On July 29, it was reported that Rose McIver had been cast as Tinker Bell.[27] For episode five, Bernard Curry played a guest role as Captain Hook's brother Liam,[36] while a member of the Lost Boys called Devin was portrayed by Skyler Gisondo.[37] Joanna Garcia was later cast as Ariel.[25][38] On September 3, 2013, Gil McKinney was cast in the recurring role of Prince Eric.[39] On October 18, 2013, it was revealed that the American musician Marilyn Manson would voice the character of The Shadow.[40] On October 21, British actor Stephen Lord was announced to be playing Rumplestiltskin's father, Malcolm.[41] He featured in the eighth and eleventh episodes of the season.[42]

For the second half of the season, Rebecca Mader was cast as the main villain, the Wicked Witch of the West Zelena.[43] Alexandra Metz was later cast as Rapunzel.[44] Rose McGowan returned as a young Cora for the season's eighteenth episode,[45] while the introduction of a young King Leopold as a Prince played by Eric Lange, and the return of Princess Eva, played by Eva Bourne, was also featured.[46] Charles Mesure was cast as Blackbeard in January 2014, to appear in one episode as an enemy of Captain Hook.[47] In February 2014, a casting call was opened for an actress in her mid-to-late twenties to recur as Glinda the Good Witch, a role later landed with Sunny Mabrey.[48]

After Once Upon a Time in Wonderland was canceled, it was reported that Michael Socha, who plays the Knave of Hearts in that series, was in talks to join the main cast in season four.[49] In April 2014, it was confirmed that Michael Socha will become a regular for the following season.[50]

Promotion edit

On September 12, 2013, ABC released the original cast promotional photos for the season. However, due to fan backlash, the photos were removed.[51] Instead, new photos were promoted via social networking outlets with the tag-line '#SaveHenry'. The second half of the season used the tag-line "#WickedIsComing" for promotional pre-release and "#WickedVsEvil" for most of its run.

Filming edit

Set in Neverland, filming of the first half of season three was shot in a versatile set inside a Vancouver soundstage, re-dressed to represent up to twelve different tropical locales, including the camps of Peter Pan, Mr. Gold and the other residents of Storybrooke. The expensive set took a month to construct and was inspired by both Disney's animated Peter Pan movie and the Ewok village from Return of the Jedi. Foliage wrangler Sarah McCulloch spoke of the set-up saying, "It took us five days to assemble all the plants. We have 200 real plants that have to be watered and pruned every day and heated at night, 30 actual tree stumps and 450 fake branches" to which silk leaves were added.[52] The Storybrooke scenes were again shot in Steveston, British Columbia, Canada.
