Should NBC return to the Land of Oz? The network’s freshman series Emerald City just ended its first season on March 3rd, but should it be renewed for second two?
Based on the books by L. Frank Baum, the Emerald City fantasy drama follows Dorothy Gale (Adria Arjona), a young woman who is transported from Kansas to a mystical and mysterious land called “Oz.” The cast also includes Vincent D’Onofrio, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Ana Ularu, Mido Hamada, Gerran Howell, Jordan Loughran, and Joely Richardson.
Season one of Emerald City debuted on January 6th to low ratings, earning a 1.00 rating in the 18-49 demo and 4.485 million viewers. From there, the numbers declined further. It would seem that viewer interest was waning. The show’s first season only managed to average a 0.72 rating in the 18-49 demo and 3.02 million viewers — making it the lowest-rated new series on NBC.
What do you think? Should NBC return to Emerald City for a second season or should it be cancelled? Would you watch season two?
Yes, bring it back. I think the ratings can’t be the deciding factor. We have to watch it on Hulu because we watch it when the youngest goes to bed and we aren’t home on Fridays so it’s when it’s convenient for us.
I would watch season two
I don’t think the old fashioned way of tracking viewership and advertising new show applies any longer. LOVE this show. I work crazy hours, so I record/dvr the few shows I watch, which include Grimm, NCIS, Bones, and formerly Downtown Abbey, and others. For your own edification, I originally saw ads/trailers for EC on Facebook, and greatly anticipated it’s debut. It’s a little dark, but is very well done, well acted, with beautiful cinematography. It’s a colorful, imaginative take on the Oz stories. Didn’t miss a single episode, reached some, spread the word, saved the episodes on dvr. My niece… Read more »
We love this show…please bring it back!
Oh yes! EC is so good. Im watching the repeats. Season 2? Yes please!
I very much want to see a second season. I watch it on hulu, do veiws from there get counted?
I absolutely love this tv series, please do not cancel. Im guessing ratings may be low because of the day and time it is aired. Most people go out on Friday nights, perhaps if it was on another weekday ratings wouldve been higher! But for the rest of us fans, i need to see this show, i love it!
Loved, loved, loved it. Disappointed only 10 episodes in 1st season.
Yes please please please renew Emerald City! I always look forward to watching. It’s SO GOOD!
There is only one other other show worth watching.
to be honesty NBC doesn’t deserve EMARLD CITY ABC or CW should take this show
Please bring back for more Seasons. Love this show
I Ike the show and thought that the twist on the original was quite good -especially the “good” and “bad” witches. Yes, as some have noted it is a much darker version of the land “somewhere over the rainbow”, but we live in a darker time than the era that the original was written. The musical score was better than the vast majority of the other shows on TV . The acting was just hoping better than most shows -withe the possible exception of Vincent DeNofrio who always has a tendency to over playthe roles he is cast in, but… Read more »
The ratings were pathetic. I’d rather they keep Blindspot over this and Timeless. At least Blindspot did a 1.83 in its first season.
Yes, please bring it back. My wife and I both really liked it.
Loved season 1, highly anticipating season 2. I watch with my 14 year old granddaughter and we absolutely love this show! Please continue this show.
