Relive every thrilling moment as ABC's ONCE UPON A TIME: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON casts its tantalizing spell.

Old loyalties will be tested, new heroes will emerge and vengeful villains will wreak havoc -- including ruthless pirate Captain Hook and the relentlessly wicked Cora. Amidst the backdrop of previously unexplored lands and a newly magical Storybrooke, love and sacrifice will set the stage for the ultimate battle between good and evil. For, in the words of Rumplestiltskin, where magic is concerned, only one thing is certain: it always comes at a price. From Storybrooke to Fairy Tale Land and beyond, experience the mystery, romance, action and adventure of ONCE UPON A TIME's remarkable second season. Complete with all 22 unforgettable episodes, plus exclusive bonus features, this must-own 5-disc boxed set is pure enchantment on an epic scale.
