While fans of Magic City are understandably upset by the show’s cancellation, Starz CEO Chris Albrecht recently explained that the decision wasn’t a difficult one when it came to finances.
At the TCA press tour, he said, “It was a fine show but it was extremely expensive. It had decent audience but distributors weren’t interested in co-marketing it with us, and we felt season two had a pretty reasonable and satisfying landing spot.”
Magic City revolves around the world of Miami’s Miramar Playa Hotel in 1959. The TV series stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Olga Kurylenko, and Danny Huston, with Steven Strait, Christian Cooke, Jessica Marais, Yul Vazquez, Dominik Garcia-Lorido, Kelly Lynch, and Elena Satine.
What do you think? Did you like Magic City? Would you liked to have seen a third season?
Starz always start shows and can’t manage to complete them!!
I loved this show, it was my Fall Starter Show. I am not surprised though that Starz cancelled it because they always seem to cancel good shows.
Thanks, Starz for sending back to the other stations where I get closure from a COMPLETED SERIES.
What a jip!!! Finally a great show and it gets cancelled. So upset right now.
Disappointed! Was really looking forward to a continuing show.
this stinks! you can afford to finish it guys!! season 3..finish it! go to kickstarter.com we’ll help
Wow, for weeks I have been asking my dad(who watches TV endlessly) had he started seeing previews yet for the show. Simply by asking Google my worst fear was confirmed. I’m shocked that this show will not continue. I thought the ratings alone could handle any financial obstacle the shows’ production might encounter. This to me was an amazing show. Done with class and it had a terrific flair, not to mention that I’ve had an attraction to this time period for a while. A backhanded thanks to Starz for bringing it to us, albeit taken away way to soon.… Read more »
I loved and looked forward for the new season. I’m so disappointed management couldn’t agree to keep it another season, I can’t begin to express how I loved the music scores chosen and the Swagger the stars had, with great story lines I couldn’t wait to see what was in store for next season I kept my TiVo ready. This news really puts a damper on our day!!
I’m praying for a miracle for some mind changes in this matter!! Thank you

I found out yesterday from a friend, that Magic City was cancelled.
I guess it’s not a teen vampire show, that will get all the financial backing. It’s a shame, truly a great show.
The season ended with a cliff hanger, and why not build upon that for the next season.
My husband and I are extremely disappointed. Everyone that we know, who were fans of the show, is EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED at the cancellation. The show was elegant, yet raw, and the history of this period is fascinating. What a shame…
Ok, I watched the last episode again and hoped that ‘magically’ I would feel some sense of closure about this story and its characters. I feel even more angry at Starz for not realizing what they had here. So many unanswered questions! Like many others have said, this show was the reason I subscribe to Starz. And that pirate show—-really? What’s next, vampires and zombies? That always sells! I was hooked on MC the moment I saw in the credits that 58 Cadillac tail fin turn into a shark fin== clever and classy! I know these great actors and writers… Read more »
Very upset over this. Its like your taking away all the good shows, I actually like the show me and my wife used to sit and watch it all the time. This is a sad day :0(
Very disappointed, husband and I was waiting on the next season.
I LOVED the show. It was all around outstanding; cast and story. After they cancelled and left season 2 last episode on a cliffhanger, I was so hoping for a season 3. Ever since Starz pulled this on the fans, I completely stopped watching Starz channel altogether.
Yes! I love this show. Super sad about the cancellation. Such a great ensemble cast and writing. Very disappointing.
Definitely it was my fave show. So upset!!!!!
