Fantasy and Science have often been mutually exclusive terms; if magic, fantasy existed in a creation, there was no room for science in it, and vice versa. Books, movies, TV series tend to use just one of them. Nevertheless, one creation, does mix them. Namely, the 2017 TV series, entitled, Emerald City, an adaptation of Frank L. Baums children
s novel The Wizard of Oz. The novel belongs to the gene of Fantasy. Throughout ages, the book had many adaptations. The one mentioned above is interesting in particular. While the other adaptations are created within the same genre, Fantasy, this one seems to change it, for the Science Fiction and present a fresh take on the story. The TV series contains many Science Fiction elements, like cyborgs, or robot flying monkey, but these do not change the genre. My paper`s aim is to prove this, namely; that even if the TV series has many Science Fiction elements, therefore, it seems to belong to the genre of Science Fiction, this is just the appearance, as a matter of fact, it remains a Fantasy creation, just as its original source.
