It sounds like Once Upon a Time is going out with a happily ever after for most characters.
According to TV Line, Jennifer Morrison, Josh Dallas, Ginnifer Goodwin and Emilie de Ravin will return to the fairytale drama for its two-part series finale.
They join Sean Maguire, Victoria Smurfit, JoAnna Garcia-Swisher, Robbie Kay, Lee Arenberg, Keegan Tracy, Tony Amendola, Jared Gilmore and Beverley Elliot who were previously confirmed to be making comebacks.
The series famously rebooted for Once Upon a Time Season 7, and the action shifted from Storybrooke to Hyperion Heights, and that meant some of the original actors departed.

But the big revamp failed to reverse the show's downward trajectory. On Friday nights, the series has slumped over 40 percent to 2.4 million viewers and a 0.5 rating among adults 18-49.
ABC swung the ax on the series earlier this year after seven seasons.
“Seven years after we set off on this magical journey, we prepare to say goodbye to the cast, crew, and writers that made the ‘happily ever after’ that is Once Upon a Time possible,” co-creators Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz said in a statement at the time of the cancellation.
“We couldn’t think of a more fitting way to say farewell than by reuniting so many of the characters that our fiercely loyal fans spent years with on their adventures."
"We hope everyone joins our Once family, old and new, for what we hope will be the sendoff of a lifetime befitting this stellar cast and its incomparable fans.”
“When we first heard Adam and Eddy’s pitch for Once Upon a Time, we knew it was something incredibly special," added ABC President Channing Dungey.
"For seven years, they have captivated us with their creativity and passion while reimagining some of our most beloved Disney fairytales, creating an undeniable global hit."

"Saying goodbye will be bittersweet, but Once Upon a Time will forever be part of the ABC legacy and we can’t wait for fans to join us in this epic final chapter.”
If you watch Once Upon a Time online, you will likely already know that the characters are battling a coven of witches in Hyperion Heights, while a witch killer is on the loose.
