Amazon today announced that their new original kids series show Lost in Oz, will premiere August 4 on Prime Video in the US and UK. The new series, Lost in Oz: Extended Adventure, is a magical, modern adaptation of the beloved Oz books from L. Frank Baum for today’s generation of families. For the series launch, the special will be broken into 3 separate episodes and 10 new episodes will be added on.
The show focuses on 12-year-old Dorothy Gale discovers her mother’s magical travel journal hidden beneath the floorboards of their home in Kansas. The book pulls her house from its foundation and transports Dorothy and her dog, Toto, to Emerald City. 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.
“We’re excited for families everywhere to experience the magic of this serialized action-adventure comedy, led by a fearless female character and featuring a diverse group of friends,” said Tara Sorensen, Head of Kids Programming at Amazon Studios. “The Lost in Oz pilot and the extended special were extremely popular with young viewers and parents alike, and the new series, poised to be the next Oz-based classic, serves up even more fun for fans.”
