ICYMI: Once Upon A Time creators talks series finale, and a breakdown of every The Witcher character!
Welcome to another edition of Fantasy After Dark! We have plenty of news to share with you, but before you get started, let’s take a trip to last week’s issue to catch you up on the latest news.
Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, creators of ABC’s Once Upon A Time, discussed the series finale and what it would entail. Check out what Kitsis said below of the possibility of old faces returning.
“Once is home to everyone and there’s an open invitation for every actor who has been on the show to come back in the finale, so we’ll see who is available. If the question is ‘Will the final two hours remind us of the first six years, then the answer is ‘Yes.’”
Showrunner of Netflix’s The Witcher, Lauren Schmidt, took to Twitter to break down every character in the series all while interacting with fans. Check out her thread below.
And now, all in one handy thread… #TheWitcher characters.

Parks and Recreation alum Nick Offerman has been cast in Amazon and BBC’s supernatural series Good Omens. Offerman will portray the father of the child Warlock, as well as the U.S. Ambassador.
The six-part series is based on the novel created by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.
Charmed reboot is expanding their cast, as Into The Badlands star Madeleine Mantock recently joined the cast. Mantock will portray Macy, one of the three witch sisters who is described as “practical, driven, and brilliant geneticist.” Her world turns upside down when she realizes that the supernatural world is actually real.
Netflix’s dark-twist Sabrina recently added Bronson Pinchot in a recurring role. Pinchot snagged the role as George Hawthorne, Principal of Baxter High. Hawthorne is a “constant thorn” in Sabrina’s way.
