Modern fairy tale series Once Upon a Time starts filming its fifteenth episode of season two called The Queen is Dead today in the Vancouver area and broadcasts its tenth episode of the season called The Cricket Game this Sunday on ABC/CTV, featuring more of the Charming family — Prince Charming, Snow White, Emma and Henry — reunion in a Storybrooke celebration at Granny’s Diner. As you can imagine, all this unbridled joy will be tough on Henry’s adoptive mother Regina, who is seeking redemption from her Evil Queen ways, and so I expect some tears from her. But this won’t be her biggest problem. Unbeknownst to Regina, her evil mother Cora has sailed through a portal into Storybrooke on Captain Hook’s pirate ship and I suspect Cora will have something to do with Regina being accused of murdering a beloved fairy tale character, as revealed in the ABC network logline below.
When Regina is accused of murder, everyone assumes the worst… except for Emma. Meanwhile, in the fairytale world, Snow and Charming must decide what to do with the Evil Queen once they’ve brought her to justice.
In late October, local Vancouver fans got to see two days (a gloriously sunny Thursday on Moncton Street and a gloomy Friday inside Mr. Gold’s) of filming in Steveston as Storybrooke for The Cricket Game, with the main cast and season two villains all on set.
Once Upon a Time airs on Sundays at 8 p.m. on ABC in the U.S. and 7 p.m. on CTV in Canada.
