Alphabet Network hands out fresh season commitments.



Once Upon a Time, Fresh Off the Boat, Quantico and The Goldbergs are all being renewed. In other words, it's a good day to be an ABC viewer.

The network picked up four major primetime series on Thursday (March 3) – as the current television season nears its conclusion.

Once the drama front, the Disney-produced Once Upon a Time returns to the bewitching Storybrooke, Maine for a sixth season this fall.

"Thrilled to announce that #OnceUponATime has been picked up for season 6! Thank you ABC and thank you to the most extraordinary fans ever," the drama's co-creator Adam Horowitz tweeted.

Inspired by classic fairytales like Snow White and Cinderella, Once Upon a Time follow bounty hunter Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) as she fends off dark forces (sometimes from within herself) to preserve her magical world.

Quantico's vote of confidence from ABC comes mid-way through its freshman season – and days before it returns from hiatus on Sunday (March 6).

Priyanka Chopra stars as a young FBI agent whose colleagues are drawn into a terror plot more serious than any since September 11, 2001.

Quantico was developed for the network by writer Joshua Safran, who's had prior success with Gossip Girl and Smash.

News of sitcom The Goldbergs' fourth season renewal was celebrated on Twitter by its jubilant creator Adam F. Goldberg on Thursday.

"Prepare for a 4th season of smothering, yelling, 80s toys, Star Wars references, tightie whities and the Big Tasty run! We got picked up!!!!" he joked.

Also getting a vote of confidence is Fresh Off the Boat, the semi-autobiographical comedy based on television host and restaurateur Eddie Huang's memoir.

The Randall Park-starring comedy about an Asian-American family's move from ethnically-diverse Washington DC to Orlando, Florida has earned three Critics' Choice Television Award nominations in its first two seasons.

Among the ABC shows still on the bubble are Agent Carter and The Muppets – both of which wrapped up their current seasons this week.
