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?
It is a disappointment that this series with such intrigue & potential was cancelled.
The acting was excellent. The setting and time period all came together. It was different.

All great comments! A fantastic series too bad it had to be cancelled politics and economics were the downfall. Netflix has great series Lilyhammer and now they just are broadcasting the first season of The Honorable Woman a BBC production, both are very good.
all the good shows seem to get canceled, I loved this show, if it was on HBO or Showtime had a better shot not getting canceld
not cool Starz

We are really upset about this. I hope enough fans will complain and the ceo will have a change of heart. Big Mistake!!!!!
Cancellation of a show is NOT the end of the world! Although, the cancellation of “Magic City” is a huge MISTAKE! I learned of the cancellation, when I was searching to see when it would air. Unfortunately, I learned about Starz not producing another season. The only reason, that I signed on to Starz had everything to with “BOSS”‘, then I became a big fan of “Magic City” . . . The acting was superb, not to mention the quality of the actors. Now, that both shows are cancelled, I will cancel STARZ . . . I agree, with the… Read more »
