The first poster of ‘Once Upon A Time” Season 6 has been released online. The poster teases the Evil Queen with a half black apple. Meanwhile, the psychiatrist from the very first season of the TV series will be coming back on the show.

[Spoiler alert]

The first poster of the next season posted on Entertainment Weekly shows the Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla) with a half black and half red apple, teasing the split personality of the character. “Long live the Queen,” the poster states. The character returned in the previous season after Regina drank the potion created by Dr. Jekyll (Hank Harris), and she plans to get her revenge.

Meanwhile, Archie Hopper (Raphael Sbarge) will be returning in the next season, TV Line reports. Sbarge’s character is the resident psychiatrist at Storybrooke. The character’s main task in the first season was to take care of his main patient Henry (Jared Gilmore), while listening to the instructions of Regina, who used to run the town at that time.

It is not clear who will be Archie’s new patient in “Once Upon A Time” Season 6. With split personalities being a major theme this year, the doctor may have his hands full with the main characters confronting their inner demons.

In a previous interview with Entertainment Weekly, Executive Producer Edward Kitsis said that they are listening to the fans and they know what stories the fans feel they have dropped. Executive Producer and writer Adam Horowitz teased that they have plans to address some of the stories that the fans want to see, in the next season.

The producers were responding to a question about Lily (Agnes Bruckner) and Maleficent (Kristin Bauer Van Straten). “Once Upon A Time” Season 6 may reveal what happened to these two characters, and also reveal who is Lily’s father.
