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 loved the show. I was hooked from the very beginning.
I sure hope it gets renewed, I enjoyed it.
I would love a season 2 I think this show had a really diverse cast, great characters, and an awesome plot, if this show got a second season I would look forward to how the Lucas/Dorothy/ romance will play out (but don’t make it the focus of the show like Ouat did), how the Glinda/west sister relationship will play out, and how the tin man, lion, scarecrow, and Dorothy stories will combine. This show is great please return it NBC!
Definitely, being it back !
I would definitely watch season 2! Please bring it back! I have to find out if Dorothy went back and defeated the Beast! Do not leave me hanging!
I don’t understand why this show had low ratings. the story line is great the work and effort put into the costumes are wonderful. the acting is good. compared to other shows that are out there right now its simply refreshing to actually have something that keeps you wanting more and actually makes you wonder whats going to happen next.
I absolutely would watch a second season. They just can’t end it, the way they left us hanging, at the end of the season.
What sucks is I didn’t find out about this show till it was half way done… but I was HOOKED! I think choosing to back it to a show like GRIMM (that is ending soon) wasn’t a great choice. Friday’s are a roughy night for TV, I’m usually not sitting on the couch (age 18-35) so I do hope the show comes back. I love the main characters and thought the story had a good amount of diversity. It was modern and much more fresh then I thought it would be. The actors did a bang up job gconsidering most… Read more »
Hey, you could get a trial of the Hulu app free for a week and binge watch it and get caught up/ re watch, this is not a solicitation for Hulu, dust passing on information, enjoy!
thank you for having it on the nbc app as a free show so i could see all the eppisodes as i drive rig and done have a daily tv available to me. and i search the aps on tv stations for decent shows sadly i have only found 3 with your station ..blacklist. the redemtion series is still a question and emerald city is a breath of fresh difference as its not to fantasy based like grimm or supernatural or those werewolf shows which are like zombie shows to me. ie i change the channel permanently.. emerald city is… Read more »
if your not gonna bring it back at least do a 2 hour finale where dorothy returns to save oz from the beast and then maybe she and the guy come back to kansas or she retains her good witch status of the east with her guy and maybe she and ozmet uses magic to revive nora and her hubby and let them have the years back the wizard took from them
This show is amazing one of my favorites. Please bring it back!
I absolutely love this show. I work many Friday nights so I had to catch up on episodes on NBC website. Why put such a good show on a Friday night, bad time slot? I don’t watch tv much, at all, but this really caught my attention. I hope to see a 2nd season.
Love this series! great storyline. Looking forward to Season 2
Charan LOVE this show!!!!
Yes bring it back. It is a great show. Well written, enjoyable, adventurous fantasy. I love it.
