The sixth season of the American ABC fantasy-drama Once Upon a Time was ordered on March 3, 2016. It debuted on September 25, 2016.
Existing fictional characters introduced to the series during the season include Aladdin, Princess Jasmine, the Count of Monte Cristo, Captain Nemo, Lady Tremaine, and Tiger Lily. Original new characters include Gideon, Mary Lydgate, and the Black Fairy. The show also reintroduced Jafar and Dr. Arthur Lydgate, who previously appeared in Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.
Executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis announced that they were ending the half-season arc structure that was seen in seasons three through five, with Horowitz saying, "We’re also planning a 22-episode story as opposed to breaking it up into two halves this year. It has been really exciting and fun." Kitsis added: "We are changing around what we’re doing this year and going back to that season 1 mentality of small town stories and smaller arcs." This season will focus on Storybrooke as the main setting, but will also show new realms and there will be the exploration of the Savior's mythology. Kitsis and Horowitz are bringing two Dead of Summer directors over to Once this season; Norman Buckley and Mairzee Almas helmed one and two episodes, respectively.Jennifer Lynch directed the eighth episode of the season, "I'll Be Your Mirror".
In January 2017, TV Line reported that the series would feature a musical episode in the spring of the year. Creators Kitsis and Horowitz had spoken about the desire to do a musical installment previously, but didn't "even know where to begin." It has yet to be confirmed if the songs featured will be covers or original, or who in the cast will be lending their voices.
