If the producers brought in Oz, I don't think they'd draw from Wicked at all due to rights and such. That means no names like Elphaba or character situations from the musical. It is likely that they wouldn't be allowed by Disney to use Oz at all because of the movie. Big Media companies have a habit of not allowing a movie or TV series to use the same story or characters already in use in a movie or series by the parent company. I guess they don't like in-company competition. I wouldn't be optimistic about having anything more than a few vague references to Oz, at least not soon. Don't get me wrong, I'd love that. I just don't think it's going to happen.
