Wizard Of Oz drama Emerald City, fronted by Vincent D’Onofrio (Marvel's Daredevil), has been cancelled by NBC after a single ten episode season, TVWise has learned. The decision will be something off a blow for the show's UK broadcaster Channel 5, who snapped up the show from NBCUniversal International Distribution last December for their digi-net 5Star. Emerald City - NBC's scripted drama which is a "re-imagining" of The Wizard Of Oz - will receive its UK premiere on 5Star on Wednesday February 8th at 9pm, it has been announced. 
Fresh off of a starring role on HBO's True Detective, Adria Arjona has been cast as the lead in NBC's 10 episode Wizard of Oz limited series Emerald City. She will play Dorothy gale, a head-strong 20 year old who is unwittingly sent to the mystical land of Oz.
