What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the NBC television network, Emerald City is the tale of a young woman named Dorothy Gale (Adria Arjona). She finds her true strength and identity as she battles to bring a divided world together. An all-powerful ruler called the Wizard (Vincent D’Onofrio) governs over one kingdom. He has outlawed magic and faces a looming disaster brought on by a mythical force — as well as the wrath of a growing cauldron of witches. The rest of the cast includes Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Ana Ularu, Mido Hamada, Gerran Howell, Jordan Loughran, and Joely Richardson.
Season One Ratings
The first season of Emerald City on NBC averaged a 0.72 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.02 million viewers. Compare its standing against the other NBC TV shows we are tracking. This fantasy series has been on a rocky road. It was supposed to film in 2014 and air in 2015 but NBC cancelled production due to creative differences. The network reversed that decision in April 2015 and hired a new showrunner. The series didn’t premiere until January 2017 and was given a Friday night timeslot. That leads me to think they may not have much faith in the series. The ratings have been quite poor, even for a Friday night show. Unless something magical happens to lift the ratings, I believe the Emerald City series is doomed to be cancelled. Sorry, Dorothy. 5/5 update: Emerald City has been cancelled by NBC. There will be no second season. Details here.

What do you think? Do you think the Emerald City TV show should have been renewed for a second season? How do you feel about NBC’s cancelling this TV series?
amazing show – well writen – amazing settings and costume work – the concept works incredibly well – great story in a super-convincing fantasy world – why cancel it?
It bad work of NBC to cansel whid ut a ending giv a move or 1 more season
I really liked this series and just went in to check to see when the next season started. Haven’t found confirmation that it’s been cancelled, but appears that way. THIS IS THE EXACT REASON I STOPPED WATCHING ANY PRIMETIME SERIES. The numbers are often not enough for the networks and the don’t care about the people who do watch. It’s truly not worth the aggravation.
What the heck??? I loved this show!!! 🙁 Not fair!
SERIOULSY??!!! CANCELLED??!!! OH COME ON GIVE US SEASON 2. I’M FROM THE PHILIPPINES AND I REALLY LOVED IT
This was a fantastic show. It makes me so sad that they would even think of cancelling it. Bring on Season 2!! Who are the raters? They didn’t ask me.
What a perfect start to begin a second series- somebody needs to revisit that idea- don’t leave us hanging like that ! Bring on season 2 PLEASE !
