Trailer for NBC's New Series EMERALD CITY Takes Dorothy on an Epic New Fantasy Adventure
NBC has released the first full trailer for their upcoming new fantasy series Emerald City, which is obviously inspired by L. Frank Baum’s Wizard of Oz book series.
The new NBC series comes from director Tarsem Singh and follows a young cop named Dorthy Gale who is whisked off to a fantasy realm where she must contend with "competing realms, lethal warriors, dark magic and a bloody battle for supremacy."
It looks like a pretty cool series! As a fan of the Oz franchise, I'm definitely interested in checking it out. They definitely tried to give it a Game of Thrones-style epic scale. Here's the synopsis:
In the blink of a tornado’s eye, 20-year-old Dorothy Gale and a K9 police dog are swept into a world far removed from our own – a mystical land of competing realms, lethal warriors, dark magic and a bloody battle for supremacy. Starring Vincent D’Onofrio (Daredevil, Jurassic World) as the guileful Wizard and directed by the visionary Tarsem Singh across three European countries, this is Oz completely reimagined – a place where familiar characters show up in fresh, unexpected ways, and where an unsuspecting young woman holds the fate of kingdoms in her hands. And as Dorothy navigates this dangerous world and uncovers her true destiny, we’ll see there’s no place like… Oz.
Emerald City premieres on Friday, January 6th.
