NBC has opted not to move forward with Emerald CityDeadline.com reports.

The 10-episode drama, which was said to be a dark and modern reimagining of L. Frank Baum's original Wizard of Oz story, was ordered straight-to-series in January. The network had been advertising Emerald City as recently as late July at Comic-Con.
