The Hot Seat: 'Once Upon a Time' bosses answer burning questions

Once Upon a Time type TV Show network ABC Where to watch Close Streaming Options

With Frozen’s Elsa and Anna coming to Once Upon a Time next season, it’s easy to forget there’s still a whole town of Storybrooke residents who are dealing with their own issues next season. Has Emma changed more of the past than she meant to? Is Will Scarlet connected to anyone else in town? Does Snow want to move her family back to the Enchanted Forest?

To find out the answers to that and more, EW put executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis in The Hot Seat, where they have the option of answering your questions from Twitter with “Yes,” “No” or “Can’t say.” Get the scoop below.

Will there be more fallout from Emma and Hook messing with the past?

HOROWITZ AND KITSIS: Yes.

Will we see any more flashbacks from the missing year?

HOROWITZ: Yes.

Will the town finally go back to normal, like Regina as the Mayor and Snow teaching?

HOROWITZ: We can’t say.
