'Once Upon a Time' Season 7 Casts Robin Givens as Tiana's Mom

The "reinterpretation" of "Once Upon a Time" now has a new version of Tiana and her mother.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Robin Givens has been cast to play Tiana's mother Eudora in "Once" Season 7, which premieres on October 6.

It was previously revealed that Mekia Cox would be joining the cast in the recurring role of "The Princess and the Frog" beauty Tiana.

EW says Givens will be in at least one episode as Eudora, described as "a loving mother to Tiana and benevolent noblewoman. Formerly wealthy, now facing financial disaster, she handles the transition with grace and inner moral strength."

This latest casting follows other new character news, including Dania Ramirez as the new Cinderella, with Gabrielle Anwar as the new wicked stepmother, Lady Tremaine. Adelaide Kane is Cinderella's "super wicked" stepsister Drizella. Rose Reynolds is playing a new version of Alice, with Emma Booth as The Witch.

Jennifer Morrison is bringing back Emma Swan for just one episode this season, with the rest of the story following Hook, Regina, Rumple, and the adult Henry with his daughter Lucy.

"Once Upon a Time" Season 7 will air on a new night, Friday, starting October 6 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
