After six years on Once Upon a Time, Ginnifer Goodwin is returning to TV on ABC again.

Goodwin has been cast in the network's comedy pilot, Steps, from The Muppets producer Kristin Newman. The single-camera laugher revolves around around four adults in three houses who raise three kids after two divorces together, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Goodwin will play Bea, a "modern hippie" and a great listener. She's teaming up with her new husband Paul, still to be cast, along with her ex-husband and his ex-wife to raise the three children together.

This is Goodwin's first series regular role on a comedy after her six season stunt as Snow White on Once Upon a Time and five seasons on HBO's Big Love opposite Bill Paxton. Goodwin has dabbled in comedy on the film side with romantic comedies like He's Just Not That Into You and Mona Lisa Smile.

She is the third Once Upon a Time alum to pick up a major casting this pilot season. Her husband Josh Dallas is starring in NBC's drama pilot Manifest while Rebecca Mader will play in the peacock network's comedy Like Family.

Once Upon a Time is wrapping up its seventh and final season on Fridays at 8/7c on ABC.
