Production

Development

On May 10, 2012, ABC renewed Once Upon a Time for a second season,[2] which premiered on September 30, 2012.[1]

Co-creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis spoke about the repercussions of the first season finale's events, stating, "Magic as we know always comes with a price and we are introducing it to a world where it has never been before and I think that’s going to have unpredictable results. It’s going to affect everybody this season because that’s what’s more fun." said Kitsis. On everyone in Storybrooke memories returning Horowitz commented, "One of the things that’s interesting to us to explore is this notion that just because the memories have returned does not mean that the past 28 years did not happen. Those memories, the Davids, the Mary Margaret, the Mr. Golds, all those people, who they were existed and what they did actually happened and those are the things that will have to be dealt with."[23][24]

The show will still bounce back-and-forth between the fairy-tale world and Storybrooke, although there will be slight differences compared to season one.[24] It had been hinted that another form of narrative will be introduced during the season.[25]

Casting

In June 2012, it was reported that season one recurring actresses Meghan Ory (Red Riding Hood/Ruby) and Emilie de Ravin (Belle) had both been promoted to series regulars for season two.[26][27] On July 5, 2012 it was announced that The Tudors' Sarah Bolger and The Hangover Part II actress Jamie Chung had joined the recurring cast as Princess Aurora and Chinese warrior Mulan, respectively.[11][6] On July 25, 2012, it was reported that Teen Wolf actor Sinqua Walls had been cast as Sir Lancelot, on a recurring basis.[12] On August 3, 2012, The Rite actor Colin O'Donoghue booked the recurring role of Captain Hook, the prime antagonist of J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan.[3] O'Donoghue will join the main cast during the second half of the season.[5] Later, on August 3, 2012, it was reported that True Blood's Michael Raymond-James had joined the season's recurring cast in an unknown role, described only as "mysterious".[13] Season one guest star Sebastian Stan will again recur this year as The Mad Hatter.[7] Actor Raphael Sbarge, who portrays Jiminy Cricket, will be a recurring guest star this season, as opposed to being a part of the first season main cast.[9] Lee Arenberg (Grumpy/Dreamy/Leroy), Tony Amendola (Geppetto/Marco), Beverley Elliott (Granny), David Anders (Dr. Whale), Keegan Connor Tracy (The Blue Fairy/Mother Superior), Tony Perez (Henry), Alan Dale (King George/Albert Spencer), and Barbara Hershey (Cora) are all scheduled to appear in some capacity throughout the season.[8][9][10]

In July 2012, it was announced that Pretty Little Liars' Julian Morris would be guest starring as Prince Phillip, an altruistic hero and adept warrior.[28] Lost alum Jorge Garcia has been cast as the Giant, from Jack and the Beanstalk. Garcia is scheduled to appear in only one episode, but the role may turn recurring.[29] Actor Noah Bean is set to reprise his role as Daniel, The Evil Queen's love-interest, during the season.[30] The X-Files' Annabeth Gish will be guest starring as Anita, the leader of a pack of werewolves, in episode 7 of the season.[31] Eion Bailey (Pinocchio/August) is expected to return at some point during the season.[32] The L Word actress Rachel Shelley and Eureka's Christopher Gauthier will be guest-starring in the fourth episode of the season as Milah, Rumplestiltskin's wife and William, a malicious man in Storybrooke, respectively.[4]

Filming

Principal photography for the season began in Vancouver, British Columbia on July 16, 2012. The town of Steveston doubles as Storybrooke for the series.[33]
