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.

Very disappointed!
Extremely upset that you’re not having a season three ….such a wonderful drama series! Every time folks get started on watching a really good drama series networks cancel it …what a shame!!
This should be an ongoing …series extremely disappointed☹️

Shocked and disappointed to the point of leaving this comment bc I’ve never felt the need to express my opinion about something on TV but in today’s world this is exactly what people are longing to watch. I believe the years since the show will only make a 3rd… Read more »
Omg best story line and screen plot I’ve watched in a long time! Was very surprised and disappointed I couldn’t move on to another season! I think especially now after some years past of more people like myself finding and watching it through all the various ways these days we have to find and watch a series like this with advertising it through prime or whatever I believe the ratings of a season 3 will far outweigh the others and the “high cost” reason for cancelling it. Hell hire me to help bring it back. The series to this point… Read more »
I absolutely loved magic city. I think you should have definitely continued with six seasons I would have loved to seen the outcome. I would’ve bought the DVD’s to collect them.

This show is incredible. I just started watching it also in June 2020 and I am obsessed. Maybe this show was ahead of its time! Bring it back STARZ.
Just finished this show June 2020 Its fantastic . Very disappointed it got cancelled . One of the best . Deserves more seasons. How do good shows like these not get more attention . Hoping they can bring it back .
Yes. I wish there were even more than a 3ed season. Loved it !!! Awesome in every way
I wish there was a season 3 🙁
Great show can’t believe it was not a blockbuster
If TV executives have no vision, no guts when it comes to supporting an excellent show, they should give up and find something they are actually good at!
