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?
Yes I would have loved to see a third season. Please bring it back.
Loved this series .. So sad that there isn’t more! Would love to see what could of happened next!
Sad this show is gone… but its easy to see the expense which would be required to put towards a period piece like this. Its excellent, glamorous, and wonderfully accurate (although a little heavy on the sex injection) about a time when Miami was “Miami”. Great writing, excellent acting, although a couple of miscasts (i.e. Mercedes), but overall, it was hard to turn away from.
Who would you have cast as Mercedes?
BRING SEASON 3 BACK WITH ALL THE CAST MEMBERS !!!!
I loved Magic City. I’ve been waiting for 2 years for this show to start up again. I only goggled it thinking I would find out faster when it would be starting again. Why must you take that show off, and leave these other shows on that I know are not as popular as Magic City? If I had a choice to see it on the big screen or as a series I would choose the series. This way I could at least see it every week. I am so very disappointed that it was cx. I kept the Stars… Read more »

I loved this show. To bad it got cancelled. I so looking forward to its return.
Just had a Magic City bingefest on Netfix. It was too good to cancel. Am so disappointed there weren’t more seasons . Please somebody bring it back!
I think Magic City is very suspenful and full of mystery
I just copied and pasted the below searching the web, its no consolation for us lovers of the series, but it might be the best next thing. The Mitch Glazer-created period Miami casino mob series Magic City, which Starz canceled last year after a two-season run, is moving to the big screen. Glazer wrote the script and will direct series regulars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Danny Huston, Olga Kurylenko and Kelly Lynch, who’ll be joined by Bruce Willis, Bill Murray and others. Len Blavatnik of AI Film, Brett Ratner of RatPac and Gerry Schwartz of Onex Corporation will produce and finance,… Read more »
I only just stumbled onto Magic City via Netflix. Outstanding show!!! I don’t know why it wasn’t properly publicized but I think that show is fantastic. You could run a season on Danny Huston alone… but just bring everybody back and PLEASE START SEASON 3 !!!
Okay STÀRS!! This getting a bit redundant first it was BOSS and now Magic City ,WtF ..get your act together ! Cancel one show that is good and I’m cancelling STARS…That a guarantee!!!! Facebook ,Twitter is not where you want to be talked about as the channel,network that constantly cancells shows!!! Think about it!
I loved it, too, but don’t blame Starz. It never gained a large enough audience & it was very expensive to produce. It’s called “show business” for a reason. I’m hoping that the upcoming film version will do well. If so, it could be return as a TV series. Here’s hoping!
I enjoy historically accurate series. I felt that Magic city was definitely one of these. The Miramar Playa and the landscape surrounding were definitely to me what I would believe historically accurate.
I loved the show!!It’s reminds of my parents era when the arrived from Cuba! Bring in back, it’s very educational!!
Bring it back, or else! 🙂
