ABC's Amazing Fall Lineup

(A Postcrossing.com postcard I got,
 illustrated by the sender from Russia "Svetlana.")


This series is a spinoff from Once Upon a Time, focusing on Alice and her adventures in Wonderland, and back home again in Victorian England.  When I heard about this show several months ago I was a little nervous, but after seeing the trailer I am beyond excited.  

It looks like it's going to be very good, maybe even better then Once Upon a Time.  Hopefully they'll keep the story concise and character driven, which OUAT got right in the first season, but struggled with in the second.

From what I've read across the net it looks like Sebastian Stan isn't reprising his role as the Mad Hatter, since he's busy with other projects (Captain America: Winter Soldier), and so forth.  And there's rumors that Cora, Barbara Hershey, may make a guest appearance as the Queen of Hearts.  That would be cool if it works out.

Originally Wonderland was going to be a mid-season show, airing when OUAT was taking brakes to fill the gaps, but the show was so strong that ABC is bringing it to us sooner as a Fall show.  That's hopeful!  As it stands the show will air on Thursdays.  Fingers crossed that it's really good, and gets a large audience to keep it going.  (Nothing's worse then getting into a show and having it get canceled with no conclusive ending.)


It's a Marvel television series developed by Joss Whedon, the writer and director behind  the mega blockbuster The Avengers.  The show is going to be about S.H.I.E.L.D., headed up by  Phil Coulson, played by Clark Gregg!  And we all thought he died during the Avengers!  The show looks interesting and fun. 
It will air on Tuesdays.

And of course Once Upon a Time is going to be on Sundays . . . unless they change it.  I really don't like when they start shifting shows around.  Many a canceled show that makes.  

So, to sum up:

Once Upon a Time: Sundays
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Tuesdays
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland: Thursdays

Yeah, it's going to be Epic!
