ABC developing Epic, a Disney fairytale universe series from Once Upon a Time vets

Deadline

Once Upon a Time co-creators Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz are teaming with their former writer Brigette Hales to develop her romantic anthology series script set in the fairytale universe of Disney. "Taking place in a Disney-like Enchanted Forest, it will center on a whole new set of new heroes, villains, princes, princesses and all manner of magical beings," according to Deadline. "While it will pay homage to the classic signposts we’re all familiar with from the stories we grew up with, Epic will endeavor to create a whole new batch of characters as it explores love in all its forms. Kitsis and Horowitz took a similar approach with Once Upon a Time, which blended classic Disney fairytale creations and new characters. The series was a hit for ABC, which aired for seven seasons."
