It seems Dorothy Gale will return to Kansas. NBC has cancelled the Emerald City TV show. There will be no season two. The fantasy drama starred Adria Arjona, Vincent D’Onofrio, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Ana Ularu, Mido Hamada, Gerran Howell, Jordan Loughran, and Joely Richardson.
As usual, it comes down to the ratings. The first season of Emerald City on NBC averaged a 0.72 rating in the 18-49 demographic and an audience of 3.02 million viewers. When you compare its ratings to those of other NBC TV shows, the cancellation is understandable.
Emerald City Cancellation Confirmed
While we have been anticipating the Emerald City TV show cancellation for a while, Variety confirmed it, last night.
Emerald City‘s yellow brick road to the airwaves was riddled with potholes. Production on The Land of Oz-inspired drama was supposed to begin in 2014. Although the network planned for a 2015 premiere, creative differences derailed the project.
The Peacock Network eventually reversed that decision. In April 2015, they brought on a new showrunner. Still, it seems they didn’t have much faith in Emerald City, since they scheduled it on Friday nights, and held the premiere until January 2017.
What do you think? Were you a fan of the Emerald City TV series? Should NBC have cancelled or renewed it for a second season? Let us know, below.
There must be other seasons. The first season is perfect, it would be a shame not to record the other. I think the series would be a real hit!!!!

This is so sad!! I loved this show.
Pity. Well acted, well produced and very much welled enjoyed. If the network had a little more patience, I suspect ratings would have improved. Pity….!
This is very upsetting news!! I LOVED this show!
I loved this show! I have been waiting for months to see if there will be a 2nd season, very upset that they canceled this show. I have never like the Wizard of Oz UNTIL this show aired and made me fall in love with it. Very disappointed.
I am the type of person that doesn’t have time to watch it until later due to my schedule. I am super disappointed to find out this show was cancelled. I think its excellent. I was completely sucked in from the first Episode and the following episodes did not disappoint. They need to bring this back for a second season.
I loved it too! Bring it back! Some first seasons just aren’t watched by many because they don’t know of it. Just like GoT and it is huge now! I loved it as well but I knew about it because I had read the books!
I loved this series! I’m so upset they cancelled it and was looking forward to season two! BRING IT BACK!
I enjoyed every minute of this show and was looking forward to future episodes.
Emerald City was one of the most expertly produced and directed TV shows in YEARS! The production quality, in my opinion, was better than most movies. I sincerely hope another network will pick it up and give it the backing it deserves. I’m 53 and my children, and my mother, all enjoyed the show immensely – great casting, great story, and fabulously creative!
I loved it and I’m sad it was cancelled. I just binged watch season one and was really excited for season two now I’m bummed out
I Just bought the first season and loved it please keep making the DVD’S I want to keep watching these or where can I buy them
