The magic has run out for “Once Upon a Time” star Jennifer Morrison.
The actress — who plays one of the main characters, Emma Swan, on the ABC fantasy series — announced she’s leaving the show after its current sixth season.
“After very careful consideration, I have decided that creatively and personally, it is time for me to move on,” Morrison wrote Monday morning on Instagram.
“Emma Swan is one [of] my favorite characters that I have ever played. My 6 years on ONCE UPON A TIME has changed my life in the most beautiful ways,” she continued. “I am absolutely blown away by the passion and commitment of the Oncer fans. I am so honored to have been a central part of such a special show.”
Morrison, 38, added that she was offered the chance to return after the completion of her six-year contract with the network, but chose not to.
Should ABC pick up another season of the series without Morrison, the actress said she’s willing to return for one final episode and plans to remain a part of the “Once Upon a Time” family.
“As I move on to other creative endeavors, I will continue to attend the fan conventions whenever my professional schedule allows,” she wrote. “I always look forward meeting the fans.”
The popular series centers on a number of famous fairy tale creatures and characters in a fictional town in Maine, fittingly named Storybrooke. Morrison’s character is faced with protecting the fairy tale icons from various threats like curses and villains.
The sixth season premiered last September and is set to wrap up this Sunday.
