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.[1][2][3][4][5]

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".[citation needed]
Premise
editIn the classic 1939 feature, when Dorothy set off for the Emerald City, she followed the Yellow Brick Road. But among the yellow bricks at Dorothy’s feet, there was also a swirl of red bricks. They’ve been there the whole time in plain sight. Unnoticed. Unexplored. Which raises the question — just where do they go? Red Brick Road will answer that by following Dorothy down that fateful path, taking her to the oldest, darkest and most dangerous parts of Oz to find what became of her friends who all have gone missing.[1]
