Emerald City Goes Even Farther over the Rainbow

From Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz to Idina Menzel in Wicked, a variety of beloved actors have led audiences back to L. Frank Baum’s colorful world of wicked witches and yellow brick roads.

This January, Adria Arjona will be the one stepping into Dorothy Gale’s famous shoes in the new NBC series Emerald City. She’ll be accompanied by a K9 police dog and find an Oz torn by a battle for supremacy, powerful magic and lethal warriors. The one-hour drama series also features Vincent D’Onofrio as the Wizard, Joely Richardson as one of several witches, and Oliver Jackson-Cohen (pictured) as a steamy new love interest for Dorothy. With visionary director Tarsem Singh at the helm, expect a show rich in mind-bending visuals and dark twists. nbc.com
