The season premiere of “Once Upon a Time” revealed there is another team of Story book characters in addition to our team that came to Neverland on the boat. The new team—that could include Mulan, Neal and Robin Hood—has one objective. Find Emma.
Unfortunately, according to TVGuide.com, it could be a while before that happens.
"Neal is going to, come hell or high water, get back to Neverland," executive producer Edward Kitsis told the website.
Remember how Robin Hood said he owed Rumple a debt for sparing his life? Well, he’s going to alleviate that debt by helping Neal. As he helps Neal, we’ll get to find out more about one of the most beloved thieves in all of history.
"Robin Hood's story is just beginning," explained Kitsis. "We're airing in two 11-episode pods. You're going to get a little more into him in the beginning of this year, but we're definitely going to get a lot of him in the second half. He's a character we're really excited about because he's a thief, but he's a thief with honor."
Watching the team of Neal and Robin Hood work should be fun. Something tells me their team will work much better than the dysfunctional crew of Emma, Snow, Charming, Hook, and Regina. As for the other team—the one that includes a bunch of Lost Boys, a deadly Peter Pan, and a poor kid named Henry—we’re hoping they run into some trouble pretty soon.
“Once Upon a Time” airs Sunday, 8/7c on ABC.
