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.
They should do another season. They never gave it a chance. Or let another network try
I’m bummed. This was different and fun. It was my favorite. I looked forward to it every week
I think cancellation is a big mistake. Loved watching Emerald City and wish the network would reconsider.
I am very sad to see it go. Don’t premier a show on Friday NIGHT AND EXPECT IT TO SURVIVE. I hope another network picks it up. Take Care to the entire cast. I wish all of well
Great, now there is nothing remotely interesting on Friday night .
Thanks
I am so sad my kids and I couldn’t wait to watch it each week. Big mistake NBC. BIG. WE LOVE EMERALD CITY.
I loved this show!! Do they even count all of the viewers on Hulu!!!!!! So messed up the case was perfect
I am heartbroken that this awesome show will be cancelled! I can rarely find a show that is this good and doesn’t have naughty stuff in it. I’m 29 years old and I want more shows like this. If possible I would love for whoever is in charge of decision making to reverse the cancellation for all of us who really enjoyed this show. I almost forgot to mention that maybe they can’t see everyone who is viewing if we are watching the show on hulu and not cable tv.
Sad to see it gone. My wife and I loved the show almost as much as we loved Grimm. Looks like it’s Tennis Channel for us on Friday nights
Omg Grimms was so good u got great taste
Lol @ the Tennis Channel. Grimm WAS pretty good tho. And Emerald City was GREAT; not only that, it was getting more intense. What are we supposed to do NOW? I have SO many unanswered questions.
And my love for Lucas/Roan grows unrequited.
I am so NOT HAPPY I Love this show you can’t just take Emerald City away like this dang it is an awesome show wish it was an hr show every day of the week dang love the cast and it keeps you on the edge of your seat ive been waiting excitedly anticipating the next season n praying for more even after that please dont take this show from us….
NBC should have canned David Schulner and renewed for Season 2. The only thing needed was a couple of better writers. Then Season 2 would have been brilliant. The actors, director, crew, locations, and costumes were extraordinary. Maybe AMC or even FOX can give Emerald City the chance it deserves.
I LOVE the show and have been on pins n needles and so looking forward to Season two! WOW! This show should go on ! I am not normally a fan of this type show however … Emerald City had me from the first Episode on! Bring it Back ! Please ? And do NOT go by what that Mo Ryan for Variety says about Emerald City!
Omg, I loved this show, why……..
So very disappointed we were huge fans of Emerald City. Such a shame.
So not happy to hear this! I really enjoyed the show!
