From recent trailers and TV spots, it looks like the series is a mashup between Game of Thrones and The Chronicles of Narnia with some extra fantasy elements tossed in.
The latest TV Spot questions Dorothy’s true identity and what her purpose is in OZ.
As you can see Daredevil’s Vincent D’Onofrio’s is playing the role of The Wizard of Oz, and is described as “a man of science in a world of magic, the Wizard rules through inspiration, fear and a tenuous accord with the grand witches.
It looks like Dorothy has a much bigger and more heroic role to play in this explosive adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s original children’s tales.

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. 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. And as Dorothy navigates this dangerous world and uncovers her true destiny, we’ll see there’s no place like… Oz.
Emerald City is set to premiere on January 6, 2017.
