Sinopsis
'Emerald City' takes us back into the world of Oz, one of the most recurring universes in film and television thanks to the classic 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' from 1900, the children's book written by Lyman Frank Baum.
The series was developed by Matthew Arnold and Josh Friedman and produced by Universal Television for the NBC network. It aired in 2017 with a single season of 10 episodes and represented a dark and adult reinterpretation of the Oz universe, moving away from the childlike tone of previous adaptations.
Despite its short run, 'Emerald City' stood out for its visual ambition, its political and religious focus, and its attempt to build a serialized epic fantasy, although its reception was mixed and it did not achieve a sufficient audience. The cast was led by Adria Arjona as Dorothy Gale, alongside Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Ana Ularu, Vincent D’Onofrio, Gerran Howell, Stefanie Martini, and Joely Richardson.
Just like in the original, the protagonist is Dorothy Gale, a 20-year-old young woman who, along with her K9 police dog, will immerse herself in this fantasy world. When both are swept away by the eye of a hurricane from Kansas, they will arrive in the mysterious land of Oz, where they will discover that magic and fantasy truly exist.
However, a powerful wizard has sown terror and banned any kind of magic in the kingdom. Dorothy will rise as the heroine of this unknown place to her and will try to restore freedom to its citizens.
