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 think it’s absolutely absurd that they cancelled this program…..I’m so sick of all the good programs being cancelled but tv keeps crap on like the Simpson’s, and the Kardashian’s…..leave our shows alone……this SUCKS!!!!
PLEASE DONT CANCEL!!!!!!!!!!!
I absolutely love this SHOW!!! Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, has depicted their character fabulously! The writers, the way there can be a sad, tragic, scary, etc moment and yet one line has you busting out laughing!!! Please know I LOVE every single actor and actress on this show. Its hard to pick favorites but I will have to say I was so sad to see “Quentin” leave. Not because he was a “favorite” but because each character plays such an intricate part and you all are intertwined. But I have to also say that I would definitely be hanging… Read more »

I stopped watching after they killed of Quinten last season. That was definitely “jumping the shark” when you kill off your hero.
WTH don’t cancel Thr Maficians I have been watching since the beginning and to cancel without an ending. SYFY finish it with an ending not in the middle of the plot. SMH
I’m heart broken that was one of my favorite shows and I want to know what happens with the new world!!! I also want to know what happens with EVERYONE stuck
