EW reports that ABC had this to say about the upcoming season:

"After six seasons, the residents of the enchanted forest face their greatest challenge yet as The Evil Queen, Captain Hook and Rumplestiltskin join forces with a grown up Henry Mills and his daughter Lucy on an epic quest to once again bring hope to their world and ours. Along the way, new fairy tale characters and old search for true love, find adventure and once again take sides in the struggle of good against evil, as classic tales are once more twisted and reimagined."

Once Upon a Time will air Fridays at 8 p.m. ET this fall, with more information likely arriving during the show's Comic-Con panel this Saturday at 10 am PT.
