She is seen wearing a skimpy red basque, dramatic dark make-up and piercing berry lips as she battles against protagonist Alice – played by Sophie Lowe.
The new ABC series, a spin-off of 2011's Once Upon A Time, will take place in a pre-curse world, and will see Alice tumble back down the rabbit hole for one last time to see if Wonderland truly is real.
Penned by Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the pilot was directed by Ralph Hemecker and shot on location in Vancouver earlier this year.
Emma has been hotly in-demand since her Hollyoaks days drew to a close in 2010, during which time she won the British Soap Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of her alter-ego Hannah Ashworth's battle with anorexia.
After a string of UK television appearances, the Liverpool-born actress began filming new movie Plastic alongside Sebastian de Souza and Alfie Allen in Miami, Florida, in January.
Once Upon A Time in Wonderland premieres on October 10th on ABC in the US.
