The pilot for ABC’s Epic, a one-hour drama that will reinvent classic Disney fairytales for a new audience, has cast its first lead role.
Penned by Once Upon a Time scribe Brigitte Hales, who will serve as an executive producer alongside Ouat co-creators Adam Horowitz and Eddie Kitsis, Epic is described as “a romantic anthology series set in the fairytale universe of Disney and taking place in a Disney-like Enchanted Forest.” Sources previously told TVLine that the potential series — which is not set in the Once Upon a Time universe — will present all-new characters and “new spins on the classic archetypes.
