Brave Heroine Coming to the Small Screen in ABC's Once Upon a Time

ABC’s fantasy series, Once Upon a Time, will reprise the main character from Disney’s hit movie Brave for a star turn on the small screen, the network announced on Saturday.

Merida, the feisty, rebellious young princess with a tremendous shock of red hair, will debut in the fifth season of ABC’s series this fall, Variety reports. The move comes as the series taps into a growing roster of wildly popular Disney characters, introducing several characters from Frozen in season 4.
