The supporting cast includes Oliver Jackson-Cohen ( The Raven) as a character named Lucas, Ana Ularu ( Inferno) as West, Isabel Lucas ( Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) as Anna, Stefanie Martini ( Prime Suspect 1973) as Lady Ev, and Gerran Howell ( Young Dracula) as Jack. True Detective actress Adria Arjona portrays Dorothy in the series, with D’Onofrio playing the role of the eccentric wizard. And as Dorothy navigates this dangerous world and uncovers her true destiny, we’ll see there’s no place like … Oz.

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. 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. The official description of the series reads as follows: The trailer for Emerald City debuted on Twitter, and was accompanied by a caption asking a very important question in the world of Oz: “Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?”Īre you a good witch, or a bad witch? #EmeraldCity /i63ign97xC If nothing else, Emerald City certainly seems to live up to its promise of being different than any version of the Oz tales we’ve seen so far.

Now the first trailer for the series offers a peek at what’s to come from this new take on L. Just over a year ago, NBC announced its plans to reimagine the world of fantasy classic The Wizard of Oz as a new, grittier adventure with Daredevil actor Vincent D’Onofrio on board as the titular wizard and Tarsem Singh - the filmmaker responsible for moody, visually stunning projects such as The Cell and Snow White tale Mirror Mirror - shepherding the series as director and executive producer.
