''The Wicked Years'' is one of the most well-known and commercially successful ''Oz'' derivative works. It's been praised for its dark take on the franchise. The series takes elements from both the [[Film/TheWizardOfOz 1939 MGM film]] and the original books, making it easy to grasp whether you prefer Baum's books or [[AdaptationDisplacement know nothing of them]]. The first book has been adapted into a [[Theatre/{{Wicked}} hit Broadway musical]] and a film adaptation has been in the works for [[DevelopmentHell many years]] (with the current release date currently 'on hold' due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic.)
