The Yellow brick Road ends before it reaches Oz. NBC has reportedly pulled the plug on their new series ‘Emerald City’, even before a single episode was filmed.
NBC ordered ten episodes of ‘Emerald City’ without seeing a pilot. NBC has a disagreement with the executive producers on the creative direction in which the series had to develop. And that is why NBC is clicking its heels three times and they are back in Kansas. However, Universal Television still believes in the series and is eagerly looking for another network.
When the show was announced in May, NBC described it this way: “Desperate for clues that will lead to the identity of her biological mother, a young woman breaks into a sinister underground facility somewhere in the Midwest. Unable to complete her mission and surrounded by security, our feisty heroine steals a K9 police dog and drives away into the night… and headlong into the path of a raging tornado. In the blink of an eye, she is transported to another world, one far removed from our own – a mystical land of competing kingdoms, lethal warriors, dark magic and a bloody battle for supremacy. This is the fabled Land of Oz in a way you’ve never seen before, where wicked witches don’t stay dead for long and 20-year-old Dorothy Gale becomes a headstrong warrior who holds the fate of kingdoms in her hands. You’re not in Kansas anymore, and this is not your Grandmother’s Oz.”
Do you think it is sad that NBC has cancelled this series? Would you go and watch the series on another network?
