The Witches of Oz is a television mini-series directed by Leigh Scott, based on the novels The Wizard of Oz, Ozma of Oz, The Road to Oz, and The Magic of Oz by L. Frank Baum.
The Witches of Oz follows the exploits of a grown Dorothy Gale, now a successful author of children’s books and his journey from Kansas to New York City.

When the Wicked Witch of the West comes to Times Square, Dorothy must find the inner courage to stop it.
