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?
Loved it and I’m looking forward to watching next season!!!!
I so hope you give Emerald City another season. I love this compelling modern adaptation to the old classic. It’s so novel and unlike any other show on the air. The cast is alluring, the writing fantastic, and the production and visuals are truly amazing and unlike anything I’ve seen. I’m disappointed and tired of shows being canceled without being given a fair shot. Please give this show a second season and time to fully ‘cook.’ The show, the producers and the fans deserve it, and I believe you will profit from it. Please!
Please, please do not cancel Emerald City. I love this show?
Oh man , pls don’t cancel Grimm!!!! I’m a big from first season. Why is it being cancelled?? Is it due to the Nelson rating? So many of us records shows, it is my understanding all show ratings comes from the Nelson ratings and this does not include individuals who DVR their favorite shows therefore you are not getting true count.
Reading all these comments indicate how many people love Grimm. Please reconsider canceling.
I so agree, Grimm is the best show on TV apart from GOT.
How’d Grimm get into this conversation on “Emerald City?”
Emerald City is absolutely a wonderfully different kind of show. I never want the episode to end. Vincent D’onofrio is magical as the Wizard. There’s no better actor!! Please keep this show going!! As someone else mentioned, it needs more promotion to gain viewers.
Vincent D’Onofrio is an inspired choice to play this adaptation’s flawed Wizard. His quirkiness so lends itself to behavior and actions of the character as he evolves. It’s a highly convincing way to see a man from earth adapt his life and personal agenda to the Oz environment.
Please renew. Love this show and would like to know what the Beast Forever is and if Dorthy returns to Oz to defeat it.
YES, EXACTLY!
I love it! It’s a new world of Oz. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Very exciting.
I really love the show. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Its a new world of Oz. Very exciting.
This show deserves another season, so it may continue to develop its characters.
YES, EXACTLY!
I really liked this show, and I hope to see a 2nd season.
We really like this show and don’t understand why you haven’t shown the season finale . Come on , some of us have watched every episode and want to see the last one . You had another show you did this way about two years ago . That is just wrong . Please come on and show this…
Would that have been “Revolution” that ended abruptly in 2014? Really enjoyed that show and thought it had one more season to tie up loose ends. The Canadian actress who played Charlotte “Charlie” Matheson, Tracy Spiridakos, is just now becoming a semiregular on “Chicago PD,” Wed nites at 10 pm on NBC.
PLEASE RENEW!
Please give us a new season, and better promotion. My whole family loves this show.
Love it! Love it! Love it!
It was not promoted enough. This time do it right. Rerun in the summer new shows for the fall. Definitely worth more shows.
Great idea about rerunning the “Emerald City” S1 shows to properly intro S2 shows on a better night in the fall!
