NBC is apparently back on the Yellow Brick Road.
The network has given a series order to the “Wizard of Oz”-inspired drama “Emerald City,” which had originally been placed in development by the network in 2013.
The drama, which has received a straight-to-series, 10-episode order, offers a dark twist on the classic tale, telling the story of 20-year-old Dorothy Gale, who’s transported to another world with her dog — this time, a police canine — to 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 a young girl becomes a headstrong warrior who holds the fate of kingdoms in her hands,” a description of the series reads.
