Bad News For UK Viewers

Channel 5 have dropped OUaT so unless another channel picks it up (and hopefully a Freeview one for many fans) then there'll be no season 3 over here.

Once Upon a Time has been dropped by Channel 5 after two seasons, Digital Spy has learned.

A spokesperson for the channel has confirmed that it is "not intending" to broadcast the third series of the fairytale drama, which is broadcast by ABC in the US.

They told DS: "Channel 5 has not picked up the rights for the next series. At the moment we're not intending to pick up the show."

Once Upon a Time debuted in the UK in April 2012 and pulled in a strong audience for Channel 5, with 2.2 million tuning in to the first episode.

I'm moving to the UK on Tuesday. So I guess between ABC's pay to play and UK stations not offering it, it looks like I won't be watching until Netflix gets it. (Assuming it's offered in region whatever DVDs.)
