‘Once Upon A Time’ Trailer: New Fairy Tale Characters and Explosions in 2013

Much as we're enjoying the break from our hectic lives post-Christmas and pre-New Years, us TV fans are ready to get back into the swing of things. And while the cable networks line up their mid-season premieres and the networks ready a few shows of their own, we're eagerly anticipating the return of 'Once Upon a Time'! Now that Emma and Mary Margaret have finally made it out of Fairytale Land with a few univited guests in tow, what new characters might be brought into the fold? Check out the latest trailer inside!

'Once Upon A Time' is only halfway through its epic second season, and the action looks to get even more intense now that Emma and Mary Margaret have returned from their ordeal in Fairytale Land, along with Hook and Cora. To that end, ABC has conjured up an action-packed new trailer for the coming episodes, beginning with Sunday, January 6 episode "The Cricket Game."

In it, you'll see plenty of magic and fire at every turn, along with confrontations between Rumplestiltskin and Captain Hook, and Regina and Cora, but most surprising of all is that the curse keeping fairytale characters trapped in Storybrooke will soon be broken. But how, we ask? And was that the palace of Agrabah, we spied in a shot?

Check out the latest trailer for 'Once Upon A Time' season 2 below, and tell us what you want to see when the series returns January 6!
