Development

The season has been confirmed to be split into two halves, with the first half consisting of ten episodes and second half consisting of twelve episodes, with the spring premiere being the 100th episode.[11] Kitsis has explained that the reason for the season being split differently to previous seasons is to have the 100th episode as the spring premiere as opposed to the winter finale.[11]
