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.

Totally bummed out! This was a great program and will be sadly missed. Come on Starz – bring it back!!!
Black sails is awful! Couldn’t wait for Magic city then I come across all this. Too many CEO’s need to pull their heads out. Magic city was amazing! Bring it back and give it a Sunday night slot.
Black Sails is nothing compared Magic City! What are you thinking,Starz?
Awesome show. Loved it! Renew Please………… Much better than most other shows. Starz you made a big mistake. It was your best series. Don’t be surprised when many cancel Starz.
lets have season 3-4-5-6 and so on GREAT SHOW.
Very bad decision – Black Sails sucks big time! ! ! !
Black Sails for Magic City…..Are you kidding me!!!! Starz is moving in a negative direction. Too bad they didn’t have the courage to fill a niche with programs like Boss and Magic City.
I guess Magic City was to hot for Stars to handle. Now we are stuck with mediocre programing. I seen Black Sails; a fairy tail glorifying people that seem to can’t face life.
Starz keeps that joke of a show spartacus for like 5 years but they cancel a gem like magic city wtf is up with that. I dont even see a need to keep starz they are going downhill fast with movies and shows!!!!!!
I am legitimately devastated by this news. I was in love with this show, that sucks.
Magic City was my favorite series….please bring it back. Expensive yes but it gave that lush touch that no one else could produce. Pleaseeeeeee!!!
No more magic city?? WTF!!! Time to cancel Starz!! That was the best damn show they had left.
