Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (2013 — 2014)

Once Upon a Time in Wonderland (2013–2014) follows the story of Alice, a young and beautiful girl living in Victorian England. She recounts tales of a peculiar new world that lies on the other side of a rabbit hole. Her doctors, convinced that she is insane, attempt to erase her memories through treatment. Despite Alice’s apparent willingness to move on, her heart holds onto the belief that Wonderland truly exists. Just as the doctors are about to succeed in their plan, the sarcastic Knave of Hearts and lively White Rabbit appear to rescue her from this fate. Together, they journey down the rabbit hole into a wondrous place where anything can happen.

Based on Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1871), this series offers a unique twist compared to other adaptations. Set in present-day Wonderland, but with flashbacks to its cursed past, it shares a universe with Once Upon a Time and incorporates nods to Disney and Lost. Occasionally, there are crossover events with characters from Once Upon a Time who are trapped in Storybrooke. While critics praised the talented cast, stunning visuals, and compelling narrative, they also expressed disappointment with the convoluted plot. Unfortunately, after only one season, the series came to an end on April 3, 2014 following mixed to positive reviews.
