Last year, the first season of The Magicians ended up being Syfy’s highest rated TV show. Will the numbers rise or fall this season? Will The Magicians TV show end up being cancelled or renewed for a third season? Stay tuned.
Based on Lev Grossman’s best-selling books, The Magicians TV show is set at the secret Brakebills University for students of magical ability. Grad student Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph) spends more time immersed in a fantasy book series than living his life. When he and his best friend Julia (Stella Maeve) are transported to Brakebills for an entrance exam, their world changes forever. The Syfy cast also includes Olivia Taylor Dudley, Arjun Gupta, Hale Appleton, Summer Bishil, Jade Tailor, and Rick Worthy.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

The Bank Heist episode was awesome i didnt think the rating would go down extremly 🙁 Hope it can be renew, i’ve just read about the plot of the triology The Magicians Book, it was awesome :((( and has many potential to scale up to many seasons not just 3. Hope they can at least make it to the ss3.

I absolutely love this show! It gets better everytime I watch it! Please renew for a third season!
I bought HBO to watch this show! I REALLY love it! I’m looking forward to watch it every week, and it’s been a long time since I’ve felt like this about a show. Please do not cancel it.
My husband and I are hooked on this show! Please do not cancel it. I look forward to every episode
Finally!!!… I show that I can be as loyal to as I was to the new Battlestar Galactica her… Who… Star track… Star Wars… Harry potter…( even now Siri Potter was a trilogy last movie) …. You get the point … The storyline and the characters… The synergy… The directing… Everything… I actually purchase the seasons… And also watch each episode live… Which is rare for me personally… But I’m willing to sit through the commercials just to watch the show… For me that’s saying something… LOL Generation X is here viewing… Purchasing even ….to avoid commercials and power watch… Read more »
Love this show! Please renew!
Renew! Love it!
This new season is looking very good, I don’t know why the second episode had lower ratings, it’s better than the first season!
I really love this series and hope it’s going to be renewed for a third season!!
i think the show is great and hope it gets darker as season 2 progresses. i like the writing and the actors on the show, just wished it could go 22 episodes. not as dull and boring as once upon a time .
I’m sure SYFY was hoping for the Expanse to have these numbers, but they didn’t. Unless the ratings for this show absolutely plunge, a renewal for season three is likely.
After loving season 1, I thought that episode 1 from season 2 was a combination of boring & stupid! (corny).
The only reason I am going to watch more episodes is because the season highlights that they showed at the end looked good. We will see…
The show wouldbe improved by concentrating more on the magic and less on the same old relationship angst that plagues a lot of TV shows.
The fact that viewers could easily binge season one via Netflix aided the ratings uptick.
