The chances of a sixth season renewal have disappeared for The Magicians. Syfy has revealed that the current fifth season will also be the show’s last.
The Magicians stars Stella Maeve, Olivia Taylor Dudley, Hale Appleman, Arjun Gupta, Summer Bishil, Rick Worthy, Jade Tailor, Brittany Curran, and Trevor Einhorn. The series follows a group of friends as they discover their magical abilities and ward off evil creatures who threaten to destroy the magical world they’ve come to know. In season four, magic was saved with Quentin Coldwater giving his life to save his friends and the world. In year five, there’s too much magic and, as the excess builds, an apocalypse looms.
The fifth season of The Magicians averages a 0.11 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 341,000 viewers. Compared to season four, that’s down by 44% in the demo and down by 37% in viewership.
Eight episodes of the current season’s 13 installments have aired thus far. The de facto series finale is expected to run on Wednesday, April 1st. While the season’s finale was not planned to end the show, word is that it was written so that it could also serve as The Magicians’ last episode.
“The Magicians has been a part of our Syfy family for five fantastic seasons,” Syfy said in a statement to Deadline. “As we near the end of this journey, we want to thank John McNamara, Sera Gamble, Henry Alonso Myers, Lev Grossman, and our entire brilliant cast, crew, writers, and directors for their beautiful creation. But most of all, we thank the fans for their tremendous support and passion. Because of you, magic will be in our hearts forever.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of The Magicians TV show? Are you sorry to hear that there won’t be a sixth season of this Syfy series?
I saw the very first episode on YouTube for free when it first came out. I watched it and that is when I fell in love with the magicians. It had its sad moments but it also had amazing moments. I am very sad to here there won’t be a sixth season of the magicians. This show has gotten me through a lot of things. It’s gotten me through college. It’s gotten me through heart break and it’s gotten me through lost. I have made amazing memories of the magicians and I wish there would be one final season to… Read more »
How stupid. The magicians lost viewers last season because ya all made us believe it was the series end. And it wasn’t. I bet Hulu or Netflix to pick it up if sy day continues with thenstupidness christ. That dumb ass show Lucifer was saved. This show is a million times that
I was drawn into The Magicians with the first Episode of Season One. I looked forward to each of the future Episodes & when Season One ended I couldn’t wait for Season Two to begin. I’ve bought each of the Seasons on Blu-Ray & have watched all of the Episodes multiple times. When Quinton died in the final Episode of Season Four I was SHOCKED! I cried like a baby during the final scene around the campfire. And yet I eagerly looked forward to Season Five, comforted that the Series would continue. Now, after watching the end of Season Five… Read more »
I keep crying reading everyone’s post. I think they should show one final happy episode and not a sad episode.
I am super sad they aren’t renewing. This show had such great writing, acting, story writing. I am devastated.
I love this show and have watched every season. Please don’t cancel the show, it’s my favorite!
Watched all 5 seasons. Have to say it has gotten better every season. Sad to see Q go. But anything was possible, that’s, for me is what kept it fresh. Amazing how the writers could weave into storylines things, such as whales & the Kraken, and made sense. Sad to see it go, the show and actors will be missed.
I am so heartbroken. I love this show and know so many people who do. What can we do to save it? Such a great show of course that’s what happens to good shows they get canceled to early and other crappy shows replace them. Such a shame hopefully Netflix or someone picks it back up. Don’t see how it could be canceled felt like it was still running strong. Huge shame. So much love such a waste.
Noooo please don’t cancel The Magicians this is such a thrill seeking ,romantic, Death defining show love the Action and supernatural and everything that makes up The Magicians
This show this is one of the best shows out period ‼️ Please so Many Gooood Shows get cancelled that We the people love and care for . If You cancel everything that’s GOOD what’s left . Life Long Fans M & B
Please don’t cancel The Magicians. A lot of people don’t have cable and watch it on Netflix instead. We’re waiting on seasons to be released.

The least they could have done was give them a season to wrap everything up. This will be the last SYFY series I ever watch. I’ve been disappointed by them too many times.
So right Tina syfy always does this. Huge disappointment as per usual. Think we should all go on strike till they bring it back.
I am also done with Syfy Sue.
Totally agree Tina!
