“Once Upon a Time” is ending, so start saying your Storybrooke goodbyes

Sad news for Once Upon a Time fans: The fairy tale drama is coming to an end, and we’re going to need someone to pass us tissues, like, RIGHT NOW because we’re actually bawling.

The show is currently in its seventh season, and will return for its back half on March 2nd — with the Once Upon a Time series finale airing sometime in May. The cancellation, Variety reports, doesn’t come as a *total* surprise, since Once Upon a Time has gone through some major shakeups in recent seasons.

Namely, the show went through a big-time reboot ahead of its now-final season, when longstanding cast members — including Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Morrison — departed; the show then brought in some new faces in regular roles — like Dania Ramirez and Andrew J. West — and relocated to Hyperion Heights.

Not to mention, OUAT moved from Sunday nights to Friday nights, and soon went down in ratings. According to Variety, “It’s currently averaging a 0.6 rating in adults 18-49 and 2.5 million viewers per episode, down just over 40 percent in the demo and 20 percent in total viewers from last season.” So no, we aren’t exactly shocked by the news, but it hurts nonetheless.

And Once Upon a Time co-creator Adam Horowitz’s sweet message to fans following news of the show’s end is making us that much more emotional.

"Seven years ago we set out to create a show about hope, where even in the darkest of times, a happy ending would always be possible," he wrote. "But we never imagined the happy ending that was actually in store for all of us -- years and years of adventure, romance, magic and hope. We're so grateful to our brilliant collaborators — the cast, crew, and writers -- as well as our partners at the studio and network for making this journey possible."

"But most of all, we want to thank the fans. Their fierce loyalty and devotion was the real magic behind ONCE UPON A TIME. We hope they join us for these last few hours as we journey to the Enchanted Forrest for one more adventure."

We’re not crying, YOU’RE CRYING.
