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.
Maybe the CW will pick it up??!!
Or picked up by the Sci-Fi Channel? Their are other networks to pitch the idea,
NBC Sucks The Beasts Forever…
Im upset season 2 of emerald season has been cancelled!! Please reconsider i love thjs show
I loved Elerald City! I was looking forward to season 2!
I loved Emerald City! I was so looking forward to the second season!
The show was great and I was really looking forward to the second season. You keep some shows that are awfull and cancelling the really good ones. Please, reconsider this one.
amen…..preach the truth…
WHY!!!! ((((((((
It is really disheartening that once again NBC has cancelled another show! It seems every show that my husband and I watch get cancelled! I really liked the Player and of course it got axed and now Emerald City! These two shows were different from any other show on right now! Yet I am sure NBC will put another cop show or a hospital show on. So over it!!
Most of the shows I tape are on NBC so once again they have let us down, I really liked the show and was hoping to see a 2nd season. I don’t know why I keep watching NBC shows, they never last long enough.

Noooooo I need this show! It was the highlight of my week. Please please please reconsider. I’m devastated!!!
I loved this show. I hope another network picks it up.
Might be a good one for the CW?
Totally sucks. They didn’t release halfway threw the season before fans got hooked. So stupid. You do this all the time. The ratings were good. Amazing how you keep stupid silly shows on, like “pretty little liars”…..yup……teach gets that ****, but oh No, ditch the fantasies, why not enough sex?
I loved Emerald City! I’m so annoyed it was cancelled with a cliffhanger ending!! If your network knew it wasn’t doing well enough to renew then you should have had your writers finish the storyline not set it up for the next season. SYFY, the CW or some other network please pickup this show. It’s awesome!
Aww 🙁 Just reading this now I can’t believe it’s not going to be renewed for a new season that is ridiculous I absolutely loved the show I also love once upon a time, I think if a different network picked it up and they put it on a different day it would do much better, it was seriously nothing wrong with the show at all; to me it was a little bit like the 10 man did they put on sci-fi years back, a little bit like once upon a time but kind of unique, it’s really nice to… Read more »
