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 love this show so much! Very creative twist on the Wizard of Oz classic with compelling characters and intrigue at every turn. They could do a better job of giving a back story on some situations but I would absolutely watch many more seasons of this show.
I really hope you do a season 2 this is a great show! Can’t water to see the beast for every and what happens to the witches? Bring on season 2!!!
I would definitely watch it. In my opinion it’s a better story line than Grimm which I watched for 2seasons religiously. This story has the fan group I’m in constant discussion over not only the plot but the emotional rides that the characters are on, why, when, where, all the great aspects that make a classic story a truly timeless tale. Just think of the Dvd sales this could generate!
No way it’s better than Grimm. But I respect your opinion. But it does have a good storyline with well seasoned actors. Plus it is filmed in some exotic locations around Europe. IMHO, it could catch up to Grimm.
Love the show, I will definitely support it for a 2nd or even 3rd season, there’s so much potential. It’s really a unique take on the Oz series.
I love Emerald City! I would definitely watch Season 2.
definitely watch season 2
YES YES YES!!!! Please! I need more!
I love this show! I’d watch season 2!!
Yes we need a season 2. You can’t just leave us hanging
Watched a few episodes. Didn’t keep my interest. So no, I would not watch season 2.
Yes Absolutely! Please bring Dorothy back to Oz & don’t forget ToTo too! I say somehow perform a mash up of the Lion, Jack the Tinman, and Lucas the scarecrow to help Dorothy face the Beast forever to save Oz.
Yes. I’m so disappointed that the season is already over. I think NBC should have done better advertising about this show. I myself didn’t know they were showing it until I came across it on the NBC app channel. I watched all 10 episodes and can’t wait for more.
It left off on such a cliffhanger even if I didn’t like it which I do but I would still want to watch the second season
Cannot wait for season two!!! I would be devastated if it got cancelled. Maybe NBC needs more advertising for the show. I didn’t really see many ads and just happened to turn it on one night. Then I was hooked and binge watched all previous episodes in two days.
Please, please keep Emerald City going. I love, love, love it!!! Please, NBC, don’t leave us hanging!!!
