Edward Kitsis & Adam Horowitz
EDWARD KITSIS & ADAM HOROWITZ, creators/executive producers
Edward Kitsis’s & Adam Horowitz’s partnership began in their Introduction to Film class at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. After successfully nabbing a B-minus on their first collaboration, the duo decided to take on Hollywood, and, following graduation, the two moved to Los Angeles to pursue their writing careers. After cutting their teeth on such shows as “Popular” and “Felicity,” they joined the writing staff of “Lost” during its first year. In 2006 they won WGA Awards for their work on the show and, over the course of its six-season run, they earned multiple Emmy, WGA and PGA nominations. For the final two seasons they served as executive producers while simultaneously writing the hit feature film “Tron: Legacy” and creating the Annie Award-nominated animated television series “Tron: Uprising” for Disney XD. After “Lost,” the two immediately began the development process on a pilot that would become their first primetime creation: “Once Upon a Time.” In 2013 they expanded their storytelling universe with ABC’s “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland” and, most recently, they co-created the summer camp thriller anthology “Dead of Summer” for Freeform with Ian B. Goldberg.

“We’re like one person, much to the chagrin of our wives.”
"The pilot is very deceptively, in some ways, the template for what the series will be. The question we got from everyone, including the network, when we wrote the pilot and produced it was, “Well, where does the series go?” The idea is that, yes, we’re going to go back and forth between worlds, but exploring these characters and the mysteries of what makes them who they are is where the show will go. At its heart, it will be a character show, and the mysteries will be characters mysteries. That said, we can’t resist the temptation to put in little Easter eggs and big pictures stuff, but it’s really about who these characters are, where they’re going to go, how they’re going to grow, and how they’re going to figure out the situation they’re in." ~ HOROWITZ
"The core idea of the show was you know Emma, the savior, arriving and bringing the happy endings - Also the idea that happy endings weren’t actually an ending but a continuing journey and that’s what we’re seeing particularly with Hook"
— Adam Horowitz - “Dark Swan” S5 DVD Commentary
