Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

NBC has chosen not to push the links between their new series Emerald City and The Wizard of Oz in their initial promotion of the show.

Emerald City starts on January 6, 2017. “Swept up into the eye of a tornado, 20-year-old Dorothy Gale (Adria Arjona) is transported to another world – a mystical land where an all-powerful ruler (Vincent D’Onofrio) governs over one kingdom, has outlawed magic, and faces not only the wrath of a growing cauldron of witches but a looming disaster brought on by a mythical force. Epic, romantic and fantastical, Emerald City is an empowering tale of a young woman finding her true strength and identity even as she battles to bring a divided world together.”

Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Ana Ularu, Mido Hamada, Jordan Loughran, Gerran Howell and Joely Richardson also star.
