'Once Upon A Time' Season 4 Release Date, Cast News: 'Lost' Star Announced to Join for 'Frozen' Episodes [PICTURE]
"Once Upon A Time" Season 4 keeps filling up as names have been revealed almost every day this past week. The latest actress to join the "Once Upon A Time" cast is "Lost" star Elizabeth Mitchell. The details of her role are still mysterious at this point, but she is believed to possibly have villain-like connections with the new 'Frozen' sisters Anna (Elizabeth Lail) and Elsa Georgina Haig).
Adam Horowitz, executive producer of "Once Upon A Time" shared with The Hollywood Reporter recently that they were "honored" to be able to incorporate the Frozen universe and characters into his hit series. "We fell in love with [the movie] when it came out last year like everyone did, and we want to do our best to do it justice."
Mitchell adds to the big casting roles for "Once Upon a Time" Season 4 actress Georgina Haig will play the part of Princess Elsa. She is best known from her time on the FOX show "Fringe" (playing Henrietta "Etta" Bishop, the daughter of Peter Bishop and Olivia Dunham) and is currently on the CBS summer series "Reckless".
Anna, will be played by newcomer Elizabeth Lail in her first television role and Kristoff will be played by Scott Michael Foster ("Greek," "Chasing Life"). Elsa, Anna's big sister is the final new casting slot still to be filled.
How much air time will the new 'Frozen' cast members get? Will Elsa will appear in 9 of the 22 episodes in Season 4, while Anna and Kristoff will make appearances in six episodes. In the third season finale, Emma and Hook have an urn that spills and it ends up coming together to form the the snow queen of 'Frozen', Elsa. So will she be a good character or bad? We will have to wait and find out.
"Once Upon a Time" writers have done such a good job incorporating all of the different story lines together and with Frozen being such a big hit for Disney, (the parent company of the ABC) it makes a good fit to bring in the new characters.
The last two seasons have premiered in late September, so we will assume that "Once Upon A Time" Season 4 will release the last week of September 2014 as well on Sunday nights on ABC.
