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?
I’m not even done with the first season but I truly love it. I think it’s a great reincarnation of the original story, new characters, new personalities. I also love the modern twist. The show may not have the highest ratings, but the 3.5 million people that likes it, really do! That may be because it’s an acquired taste, and you have to like a kind of dark story. And not every show starts off with a Big Bang, but gain viewers over time, and I truly think this could be one of those shows. So for my sake, I… Read more »

We look forward to watching this show. It’s a great series and we hope it’s renewed.
I think this is an amazing show, it just needs a little more time for more people to catch on to it.
I hope it gets renewed. It is a wonderful show with an amazing cast and it just needs a bit of faith and loyality to really take off. Many shows have started slow and became an utter success. It should be renewed.
I wasn’t sure of it at first. It took me about three episodes to really get into it. Now I’m addicted! It seems to get better with every episode. The twists and turns, depth added to the characters. I do not watch much tv–little to none—but I have not missed one episode of EC! Please, please renew.
I hope it will get renewed despite the low ratings. It is a beautiful show!
I love Emerald City and would love a second season!!!!! Please give it a chance.
We love this show, please do not cancel!

I think Emerald City is a very creative look into a Classic! It needs time to develop! Networks need to give time for a show to get a fan base, please NBC let this show develop!!
