How prominent will Aladdin and Jafar be in the new season?
Adam Horowitz: At first, we get a taste of them in the premiere. It takes a little bit to see how the Aladdin world fits in with the story.
Edward Kitsis: We left a lot of threads dangling last year, Jekyll and Hyde, the Evil Queen, so that we’re not in a rush to get to Aladdin and Jafar because we have other things to take care of. This year we’re not doing like, “These ten are in Camelot, these ten are over here.” We’re going to be much more of a season one/season two stay-in-Storybrook kind of vibe.
Was there a reason for the recast of Jafar?
EK: Yeah, Naveen, who we love, we worked with on Lost, and obviously wrote the part for him, is a regular on Sense8. The thing the fans don’t understand sometimes is that people don’t just wait for the call — especially great actors who are in demand.
Why does it feel like the right time to bring in Aladdin?
AH: I think that hopefully when you see the premiere, you’ll understand why. In our conception of the Aladdin story, because like anything we try to do our own twist on it, as you saw the clip today, you’ll see that he was a savior. There’s clearly some sort of connection between him and Emma, as a savior, and that kind of tie is what made it feel appropriate to bring our Aladdin spin into the show now. We’re going to deal with some very strong and emotional things.
Was the red bird in that scene a nod to Iago?
AH: I’ll say that the red bird in that scene is something to pay attention to, it comes back.
EK: That’s a very clear thing to notice.
Speaking of the red bird, are there any other characters from the Aladdin story who we’ll be seeing?
AH: Yes, Jasmine is coming in, to be played by Karen David. We’re very excited to have her join the show.
