Lost in Oz — inspired by The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the magical world created by author L. Frank Baum, 12-year-old Dorothy E. Gale discovers her mother’s magical travel journal hidden beneath the floorboards of their Kansas home. The book triggers a tornado, which rips her house from its foundation and transports Dorothy and her dog, Toto, to Emerald City, a bustling, modern, metropolis. In order to get home, Dorothy learns she must acquire every element on Oz’s “periodic table of magic” – while the city faces the worst magic drought in eons! Along the way, Dorothy and Toto meet unlikely allies in West, Ojo, Reigh the Lion, Scarecrow, and Glinda the Good, who are each eager to help, but struggling with their own problems. Together, they navigate the magical landscape of Oz while undergoing their own unique journeys of self-discovery.
Aimed at kids ages 6-11, the series originally premiered on Amazon Video on August 7, 2017, and ran for 26 episodes over two seasons, ending its run on June 8, 2018.
Lost in Oz builds on the Emmy Award-winning 2016 Amazon Original special Lost in Oz: Extended Adventure (produced as part of a pilot program), which will be split into 3 separate episodes and joined by brand-new ones.
