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.

Emerald City Cancellation & Renewal Related Links
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 hope that there will be another season
Absolutely believe this should be renewed! One of the best new shows on TV, and one I truly look forward to watching every week!! So unique and refreshing from all the other crap that’s on now, after a week at work I need this fantasy!
Please renew this show I love it
Oh my gosh please have more Emerald City. We love this show!!!
My friend and I love this show, only we are both too busy to watch it live when it airs. We watch it on Hulu on the weekends. They should take into account how many people stream it afterwards. It is after all a time where live TV isn’t required.
It is so good. I’m surprised by the ‘low’ ratings considering the fact it is the best OZ adaptation I’ve seen so far, even the best fairytale-based show on TV. Plus, giving the fact that it competes with TVD last season I would give EC the credit! Please renue it, I want more!
awesome – please at least one more season
Gets better with each week. Keep it on the air
Please please don’t cancel this show this is the one show I watch live I don’t even record it and watch it later. I can’t wait every week for it to come on please don’t cancel
This is a great adaptation of the story of OZ. PLEASE give us more! We know that the original author wrote more about OZ than just the story of Dorthy. However, that being said, I really hope that she will be able to be put back there somehow. She has the Cardinal powers but so does Tip. We need to know what happens next!
Oh please please don’t cancel this series!! It is just magical sci-fi. Great story line and enchanting characters!! It gets better every week!!!
Love this show!!!!! I watch and reward each episode! 1st time I’ve ever done that!!!♡♡♡♡ I really hope it continues next season, and if not, where can I get a DVD set of this season??!!!
I love Emerald City. I think if they gave it a better time slot it would do so much better. Please do not cancel! Too many great story lines for a season 2!
Please renew Emerald City. It’s the first Science-fiction/fantasy show that I have been able to get my husband to watch, and he loves it with me. We haven’t missed a second of it.
And how else can Rowan redeem himself and end up with Dorothy?!
I love every episode and find myself groaning when the hour hits and I have to wait a week for the next episode. If it doesn’t get renewed I’ll lose my mind!
I will have to agree with you… I will die if this ends !!!
