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?
I would definitly watch loved this show
I’d definitely watch a Season 2 and I know 3 other people to whom I recommended the series and they all loved it as well. Those other 3 I mentioned are in that 18-49 age range and all mentioned they’d never seen it advertised, so perhaps it didn’t get as much social media attention prior to the series’ launch as it should have.
I want a second season. Love this show, I love reimaginings of old stories with the addition of new themes. Plus the depth of the world, languages, history, costumes of OZ, and the addition of EV, the fantasy world elements are excellent.
Best Show on TV, er my computer. Favorite show.
I love this show. I understand some do not as they feel it’s based on the movie. Not the case. There is an entire series on Oz that the majority of folks aren’t aware of. That series is what the show is based on. If you are a fan of the full book series, the show is worth watching. It’s very well done and should be given another shot. If you can look past the movie stereotype, you will enjoy Emerald City. Please bring it back for Season 2
I would definitely watch season 2! You can’t end the show on a cliffhanger like that, that is not nice.
I would watch second season
I love this show. I would watch second season
I love the shoe. I would watch second season
I really don’t understand why this show was created. There have been several interpretations over the years, with the Tin Man not that long ago. With the wealth of writing talent out there, why couldn’t they have tried something original rather than dress up a story that’s been told many many times. Yet they did, and they did it badly. Its not a very good show.
I love this show! I like be the story and characters. Please bring it back for a 2nd season!
I love this show
If Emerald City isn’t renewed I am going on a hunger strike
I love the show but never at home when it’s on so I DVR it and watch it later, if you don’t air series 2 then I will have to buy the book.
I love this show. I actually haven’t watched any of the episodes LIVE, as I’m never at home when they are on. I have a ROKU player with the NBC channel, so watched them all via that device. I definitely hope there is a second season!!
