The cast and executive producers of "Once Upon a Time" were also present at the San Diego Comic-Con. They shared a few details about what is to come in the sixth season and what fans can expect. 

The previous season saw Regina being split into her two personas. Season 6 will see that arc continue, but this time, nothing will get in the way of the Evil Queen. "The queen now is very different. She's without a conscience, so she's like pure evil and pure darkness," Lana Parilla told TVLine's Michael Ausiello. 

Apart from that, Regina will become closer to Emma and Snow White, but "will continue to be sassy and sarcastic." As for everyone's favorite couple, Emma and Hook, they will be facing some things in the new season as well. Belle, on the other hand, will start to look at things differently after the fifth season. Season 6 will also see the Hook and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas) dynamic into play.

"Once Upon a Time" season 6 will premiere on Sept. 25 on ABC.
