Once Upon a Time first look: Tiana crosses paths with Dr. Facilier

Will the princess find her frog on Once Upon a Time?

The Princess and the Frog heroine Tiana (Mekia Cox) gets the origin story treatment in Friday’s hour, which includes familiar faces from the 2009 animated film, like her mother Eudora (Robin Givens) and villain Dr. Facilier (Daniel Francis).

With her kingdom in trouble, Tiana seeks help from the iconic soothsayer. But this princess needs no prince as she takes matters into her own hands when Facilier’s true motives aren’t quite what they appear. “She is now discovering how much of a warrior she is,” Cox teases.

Her actions subsequently dovetail into the Cinderella (Dania Ramirez) adventure, hence the duo being roommates in Hyperion Heights, where we’ll see Tiana’s cursed counterpart Sabine make a sweet (and tasty) decision that could affect their future.
