Anna and Kristoff joining Elsa in ‘Once Upon a Time’ 4

MANILA, Philippines – Couldn’t get enough of Anna’s endearingly awkward character? Missing Kristoff’s shaggy mane? If the answer is a resounding ‘yes’ to all the above, it looks like you Frozen fans are in luck.

E! News reports that Anna and Kristoff will also be joining season 4 of Once Upon a Time, in addition to Elsa. 

The third season finale of the hit series left its viewers with a major cliffhanger, showing only a quick glimpse of Elsa and her signature blue gown magically materializing in supporting character Rumpelstiltskin’s vault.

Unfortunately for fans, however, Elsa’s face was not shown as casting is still in process. Despite showrunners remaining mum on the potential actresses set to play the ice queen, fans can expect a casting announcement soon as production is reportedly scheduled to begin on July 9.  

With various reactions from fans of the Disney contemporary classic, Frozen purists need not worry as show creators do not wish to stray too far from Elsa’s defining traits. Co-creator Adam Horowitz tells Entertainment Weekly, “We’re not trying to redefine the character; what we’re trying to do is take this beloved character and fit her into our world.”

He also confirms that Elsa is likely to be introduced in the seasons premiere, with the episode explaining her backstory and why she was locked up in Rumpelstiltskin’s vault.  

But will Olaf join the cast, too? TVline.com says that show bosses would not comment or give a direct answer. 

But if you’ve had enough of hearing “Let It Go” from every speaker, however, do not fear as creating an replica of the movie is the last thing on the producers’ minds. Horowitz tells E! News, “We’re not going to redo the movie, because we just don’t feel like it’s in anyone’s interest for us to redo it.” He continues, “But what we can say is we’re very aware of what we think makes this character from Frozen so special and we want to honor that and make sure that what we do is in the universe of everyone fell in love with this past year.”
