TV show description:
A fantasy drama, this TV series is based on the Land of Oz book series written by L. Frank Baum. It’s the tale of a young woman finding her true strength and identity as she battles to bring a divided world together.
While searching for her mother, 20-year-old Dorothy Gale (Adria Arjona) is swept up into the eye of a tornado and transported to a mystical world. It’s where an all-powerful ruler called the Wizard (Vincent D’Onofrio) governs over one kingdom, 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.
While on her path to find her way home, Dorothy comes upon a wounded soldier named Lucas (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) and a young man, Jack (Gerran Howell), who’s attempting to free his best friend Tip (Jordan Loughran) from a mysterious woman (Fiona Shaw).
Meanwhile, in Emerald City, Glinda (Joely Richardson) and West (Ana Ularu) come together to say farewell to their fallen sister, The Wicked Witch of the East (Florence Kasumba).
Elsewhere, the Wizard sends Eammon (Mido Hamada) on a mission to discover what fell from the sky and disturbed the Land of Oz.
Episode #10; “There’s No Place Like Home”
First aired: March 3, 2017. The battle arrives in Emerald City as sleeping giants arise. Tip and West (Ularu) arrive in Emerald City seeking vengeance. With a renewed confidence, Dorothy faces off against the Wizard and fights to save Oz from his oppressive reign. Meanwhile, Glinda brings her power to the battlefield as the threat of the Beast Forever looms. [Courtesy of NBC]
What do you think? Do you like the Emerald City TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for season two on NBC?
I feel that they never gave it a fighting chance! The cast was TOP of the Line! The story is very nice to see and is just what a true fan should see. why is it every time they give us a Great show the heads of the channel ALWAYS bite it in the rump! Never really back anything that the fans find to be entertaining as we have no voice in it! I’m not Stupid I know what I like! Bring it back and STOP playing around with the people who pay to see the shows (cable subs) give… Read more »
please bring back
I watched Emerald City and enjoyed it, I liked the rearrangement of the characters was always a fan of The Wizard of Oz.
why is it every time they have a show has something to do with imagination or witchcraft they cancel it!!!!!!!!
Sad that this inventive show is gone.
I was really looking forward to the second season! And in the season finale it appeared there was going to be one. There is a Knouff reality and life, I don’t want to come home and watch it on TV. This was something ingenious, always leaving me waiting for the next show, with a great cast. Thank God for Netflix !!!
I’m sooo disappointed I really love that show I looked forward to it every week .
Please bring it back,i have been waiting all summer
So disappointing. Great show. Great acting. Always loved The Wizard of Oz and this gave it a whole new spin. NBC should definitely reconsider just like they did with Timeless. So wish another channel would give it another go.
The show was awesome!’
Should be renewed. Maybe SYFY will pick it up. Could be a phenomenal series.
I so wish another channel would pick this up I really was enjoying!
