Kitsis and Horowitz rose to fame as screenwriters and producers of the legendary “Lost” series before directing the fantasy drama “Once Upon a Time”. The series spanned seven seasons and 155 episodes, featuring new storylines for classic fairytale characters – including Snow White, Evil Queen, Little Red Riding Hood, Mulan, and many more.
Commercial success and strong critical reception resulted in a spin-off titled “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland”, which only lasted one season and revolved around the classic novel “Alice in Wonderland” .
