From 2011 to 2018, fans of classic fairy tales had magic beamed directly into their homes, as ABC's Once Upon a Time took viewers to the magic land of Storybrooke, Maine. Now, Popverse is thrilled to report that you can revisit that same magic (albeit across the country) as Once Upon a Time's Lana Parrilla, Sean Maguire, and Rebecca Mader are officially headed to ECCC 2025!

In case you don't already know (odds are you do, if you clicked on this article, Parrilla, Maguire, and Rebecca Mader portrayed the Evil Queen, Robin Hood, and Wicked Witch of the West, respectively. They'll be bringing all their experience in those roles (and hopefully some of the tricks their characters know) along with them the Saturday and Sunday of the convention (that is, March 8 & 9), and will be available for photographs and autographs at a time announced later. The three of them will also appear on a Once Upon a Time Reunion Panel, the details of which you'll hear from Popverse soon.

But hold on, there are a few more pages in this magic storybook. Not only are your favorite queen, thief, and  witch bringing the magic to Seattle, but Popverse Superfans are getting a few new perks for ECCC in the coming year. Come 2025, Superfans in Seattle will get: 

• Fast passes for celebrity autographs and photo ops
• Access to the Superfan Lounge
• First Access to Artist Alley
• Reservations for the Main Stage

All of this is in addition to the existing Superfan benefits, which include:

• Superfan variant limited-edition gift
• Access to ReedPop video archive on Popverse
• Members-only articles on Popverse
• Ad-free browsing on Popverse
