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?
I just binged he entire series and absolutely loved it! The acting, the setting, the nostalgic/retro feel…mob, sex, family…it had everything! I can’t believe another network wouldn’t pick it up! You put together a spectacular looking show and then can’t afford to keep it going? Lol…do a fund me page if you have to!
One of the best series we have seen. Please keep and bring it back.
I loved magic city in and out everything about it was exciting and new and sexy and edgy with class and brought back memories of older sings I’m only 30 but our world needs more like this series…I was crushed and still crushed would love season 3
Loved this show…please bring back this series.. If this show had been promoted and more people saw this it would have been a big hit and sucess. I’m a fan of many of the Starz series. They all have talented actors and great writers. Magic City is one of the best series l’ve seen..Please figure out how to bring it back to all their devoted fans.
One the top few “period piece” series I’ve watched, and I liked every little story line in the show so bring it back now, DAMMIT!
Please Netflix!!! Can you restart this awesome show and give us a Season 3.
We have one more episode to go in Season 2 and we LOVE Magic City
this show would have easily gone to 6 seasons and is far more addicting than most shows the writing was insane with all of the plot twists i was on the edge of my seat it was like mad men and sopranos had a baby in miami and that was magic city …i hope HBO or netflix brings it back
and this is why no one watches stars lmao!!!!
This show was fantastic!! I agree with another comment… Best show since the sopranos! I’m so upset!! Make it work! Figure it out!!
I would pay money to see all the seasons up to season 6 I want this show back. Can netflix please buy it and show it. I need to see more. An bring Marlyn look alike back. Save her.
Best show ive seen since the Sopranos. Please bring it back.
Loved the show. Bring it back!!
What? I just finished watching, Magic City, I loved it so much but noticed that season 2 was 2013. I immediately got on the Internet to see why, there was not a season 3! Starz cancelled it! That was a huge mistake!! I am sure that I am not the only fan that found this ridiculous! Money? Really? Your company has so much money! Also, Boss, was also a really good show and once again you cancelled it. For once in your life, listen to what the fans want and NOT about “The Money”, not being big enough to overfill… Read more »
