These days, TV shows can use all the help they can get to attract positive ratings and stay on the air. Even a little magic wouldn’t hurt. How will The Magicians perform for Syfy? Will the fantasy series be cancelled or renewed for a second 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 cast also includes Olivia Taylor Dudley, Hale Appleton, Arjun Gupta, Summer Bishil, Rick Worthy, Anne Dudek, Jade Tailor, and Esme Bianco.
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.
2/8 update: Syfy has renewed The Magicians for a second season. Details here.

What do you think? Do you like The Magicians TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Worst TV show I’ve seen in awhile. I tried to watch it several times but was bored,yet they won’t renew Wynona Earp which is the only show I look forward to seeing every week. And leave it at a cliffhanger at that. TV ratings are all screwed up. At least they’re bringing back Lucifer
Wonderful idea to screen the books. However it would help enormousely if the lead actor would speak more clearly – less ultra-hasty mumbling, and also if the screening wasn’t frequently done in black-light, we don’t find it ‘atmospheric’, just hard to see exactly what’s going on (and who is involved). I think the books deserve a better tv presentation.
This show needs to move on and on great keep it up
This show was picked up for another season. Thanks SiFi for season 2 of this show
Please don’t take this show away! It will be a hit. My husband and I adore this show! We already lost Being Human.
Please keep this show, I’ve told everyone about it. Love it
Please do not let this show leave! My husband and I love this show. We lost Being human and we’re totally bummed. please keep it. It’ll catch on. I’ve told everyone about it.
I really enjoy this series with its edgier storyline and interaction between the different characters. I believe that a series that is based on a book series needs to be semi independent, so that the twists and turns can surprise you and this acts as the hook. Please renew this show as it’s one of the better ones that you have.
please renew this season it’s great
Yes it needs to be renewed for many seasons to come. Syfy has a habit of addicting me to outstanding programs and then cancelling them for no apparent reason. I thought Syfy was created to show movies and series that think outside the box at all times. Instead they are constantly falling into the cliche void of the human condition and our possibilities. They have primetime networks for that. I watch Syfy for the science fiction and unimaginable.You cant let network ratings dictate every station.
The show is awesome and I would really like to see what happens next. It’s infuriating that they just end TV shows like that, leaving the viewer hanging on the edge of their seat.
I enjoy and look forward to the show.
I really like the books and this doesn’t follow them very well but you know what? I don’t care. I like it. It’s better than “shadowhunters”. Acting is really good and the story, even though it’s not consistent with the books, is well written. I hope for a second season.
Sorry but you got the first episodes ratings wrong ep 1 was also a rounded up .4 so it can’t have a rating of only .26 for the demo and the viewership was more then a million not under ep 1 was 1057. You have episode 2 rating and viewership perfectly just ep one is off.
This show has some stiff competition, namely from HBO & Freeform ntwrks that have “Magical Themed” programs also. I’ve seen them both … they are real good ! Good luck Magicians, you’ll need it …my opinion, thanks …
