Get ready to rediscover the magical land of Oz in the new Netflix series Dee & Friends in Oz, produced by 9 Story Media Group, with animation by their award-winning studio Brown Bag Films.
Coming in 2024, Dee & Friends in Oz, a fantasy adventure musical for preschoolers, follows a young girl named Dee, who discovers a wonderful magical land of Oz, where she meets new friends and is challenged to save the day, and save Oz!
“We believe that, at its heart, Oz shares messages perfect for young viewers: the importance of friendship, the courage to believe in yourself and that every kid has the power inside them to be a hero. To meet the needs of this new generation, we’ve built on the century-long legacy of Oz by flipping the story of a girl dropped into a fantasy, just yearning to go back home. Instead, this is a story about a young Black girl unapologetically making a home for herself in this fantasy world, while learning about herself in the process.”
