As our sister site Deadline reports, the latest reimagining of the classic tale comes from Heroes creator TIm Kring and EPs Adam Armus and Norma Kay Foster and is based on author Danielle Paige’s forthcoming novel Dorothy Must Die.
In the young adult tale, the ruby-slippered one has become the fascist ruler of Oz and is threatened by the arrival of another Kansas teen who becomes the head of an underground resistance movement.
Among the other newly made friends of Dorothy: Syfy’s post-apocalyptic Warriors of Oz miniseries, CBS’ Dorothy medical drama and NBC’s darkly epic Emerald City.
