The sixth season of the American ABC fantasy-drama series Once Upon a Time was ordered on March 3, 2016. It premiered on September 25, 2016, and concluded on May 14, 2017. Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Morrison, Lana Parrilla, Josh Dallas, Emilie de Ravin, Colin O'Donoghue, Jared S. Gilmore, Rebecca Mader, and Robert Carlyle return as principal cast members from the previous season. Due to the seventh season being a soft reboot, this season marks the final appearance of Goodwin, Morrison, Dallas, De Ravin, Gilmore, and Mader as regulars.
Existing fictional characters introduced to the series during the season include Aladdin, Princess Jasmine, the Count of Monte Cristo, Captain Nemo, Lady Tremaine, Beowulf, Tiger Lily and the Tin Man. The season also reintroduced Jafar and Dr. Arthur Lydgate, both of whom previously appeared in Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.
