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.

IT’S CRAP! GET SOMETHING BETTER! DIDN’T FEEL LIKE WIZARD OF OZ MATERIAL AT ALL! ACTING REMINDED ME OF A CHEAPLY DONE, STRAIGHT TO DVD, DOLLAR MARK DOWN MOVIE!
If you were expecting something similar to the song and dance of the Judy Garland movie, well, of course it “didn’t feel like Wizard of Oz material.” If you had read L. Frank Baum’s whole collection of Oz books, then Emerald City’s darker and grittier vision might feel like a truer interpretation of the original stories. The modern take on Oz is refreshing and relevant. Today’s world is becoming a wasteland of negativity and despair. A show that dares to stand up for the power of magic–which represents hope, wonder, and love–is a damn good show that deserves to return… Read more »
