Well, it had to happen sometime. After seven seasons, Once Upon A Time will say goodbye for good this May. While this year’s reboot hoped to bring back some of the audience it lost after several seasons of pretty abysmal storytelling, it seems even clearing house and starting over wasn’t enough to save the ABC fantasy series.

In a joint statement released Tuesday, showrunners Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz said: “Seven years ago, we set out to create a show about hope, where even in the darkest of times, a happy ending would always be possible. But we never imagined the happy ending that was actually in store for all of us — years and years of adventure, romance, magic and hope. We’re so grateful to our brilliant collaborators — the cast, crew, and writers — as well as our partners at the studio and network for making this journey possible. But most of all, we want to thank the fans. Their fierce loyalty and devotion was the real magic behind Once Upon a Time. We hope they join us for these last few hours as we journey to the Enchanted Forest for one more adventure.”

Once Upon A Time is currently on winter hiatus but will return with new episodes on March 2.
