WINTER COMES EARLY TO DISNEY/ABC TELEVISION GROUP'S WATCH SERVICES

In an unprecedented move for Disney/ABC Television Group's WATCH services, the first act of next Sunday's highly anticipated premiere of "Once Upon a Time, " featuring the chilly debut of Elsa from Disney's "Frozen," is live now for authenticated viewers on WATCH ABC, WATCH Disney Channel and WATCH ABC Family. It will be available to all viewers on each platform beginning FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26. This is the first time all three networks have debuted content from the same show on their WATCH services.

Disney/ABC Television Group's WATCH services enable fans to watch their favorite ABC, ABC Family and Disney Channel programming whenever and wherever they are on desktops, smartphones, tablets and connected TVs. Authenticated subscribers of Comcast, Cablevision, Cox Communications, Charter Communications, DISH, Midcontinent Communications, Verizon FiOS, Google Fiber and AT&T U-verse, among others, can also watch a 24-hour live stream of each network, as well as access advantaged window episodes.

In the season premiere episode "A Tale of Two Sisters," a scared and confused Elsa finds herself in Storybrooke and, fearful of the intentions of its residents, creates a powerful snow monster for protection. With Robin Hood's wife, Marian, back in the picture, Regina wonders if her "happily ever after" with the former thief has been completely quashed -- while on their honeymoon, Mr. Gold finds an intriguing object that makes him question whether or not he should officially give Belle control over the dagger that makes him The Dark One, and Hook is dismayed to discover that Emma seems to be avoiding him while she tries to help comfort Regina after being the one responsible for bringing Marian back from the past and into Storybrooke. Meanwhile, in Arendelle of the past, as Elsa's sister Anna's wedding to Kristoff nears, Anna discovers that their parents - who died on-ship during a violent storm - were heading to a mysterious destination in a quest that may have held the secret to containing Elsa's out of control Ice powers. And against Elsa's wishes, Anna wants to finish their journey to find out what they were looking for, on "Once Upon a Time," SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
