After much excitement from the revelation that Queen Elsa would be in Once Upon A Time, the waiting finally came to an end when it was announced that actress Georgina Haig was cast in the coveted role. Haig will be joining Scott Michael Foster, who will play Kristoff, and Elizabeth Lail, who will play Elsa's little sister Anna.
While it is still unknown whether lovable snowman Olaf and endearing reindeer Sven will appear in the series, it has been reported that the story will take off where the movie ended; Anna and Elsa working on their relationship as newly reunited sisters and Kristoff becoming part of the castle group.
To celebrate Haig's casting and the fact that we will see more of the Frozen story and characters, we have gathered a few details about the actress that you need to know before seeing her bring Elsa to life on the small screen.

CBS has been tweeting about its new show, and it looks like they aren't the only ones who have great things to say about it.
So many great things about Lee Anne's wardrobe. Smart, casual, and fits neatly into most sized hand bags and or clutches. #reckless

Georgina Haig was considered for the role of Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man. We all know how that turned out (with Emma Stone getting the role), but we have to wonder how different things would have been if Haig would have been Stacy.
