How it feels

This series would have been a darker and grittier take on the Land of Oz, focusing on the red brick road from the classic film. It was planned as a spin-off but was canceled before production.

What happens

Red Brick Road is an unproduced American fantasy drama television series, created by American artist Rob Prior. It would have served as a spin-off to the works based on the Land of Oz, inspired by the Red Brick Road visible in the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, and was originally described as a "darker", "grittier" version of Oz. The project was eventually cancelled due to creative differences, with developer Rob Prior stating that he "did not like the way that Warner Brothers was going with the project" and felt like Warner were ignoring the art and story that he provided, fearing that they were treating it "as a bad Hallmark movie".
