TV show description:
Based upon Lev Grossman’s best-selling books, this supernatural drama is set at the secret, upstate New York, Brakebills University, for students of magical ability.
An outsider, grad student Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph), chooses to spend more time immersed in the Fillory and Further fantasy book series — a favorite since childhood — than living his life.
When he and his best friend and crush, Julia Wicker (Stella Maeve), are transported to Brakebills for an entrance exam, their world changes, forever. Based on the use of the powers Quentin never knew he possessed, he is accepted into Brakebills.
After the bright and beautiful perfectionist, Julia, fails her entrance exam, she grows fixated on gaining access to this world, which she should have forgotten, entirely. It is at Brakebills that Quentin and his friends will discover the world of Fillory and Further is far from fictional, and far too dangerous.
Shy and talented Alice Quinn (Olivia Taylor Dudley) is from a line of powerful magic practitioners. Her confidence grows when she wields her powers, and she resolves not to let her dark past cast a shadow on a bright future.
Loner William “Penny” Adiyodi (Arjun Gupta) is gifted, talented, and easily irked. Who knows the true limits of his abilities?
Opinionated and convinced of his own brilliance, Eliot Waugh (Hale Appleman) looks like he has come by everything easily, but appearances can be deceiving. As far as Eliot is concerned, magic comes from pain.
The tact fairy did not attend the Christening of the blunt Margo Hanson (Summer Bishil). Although skilled at her art, Margo is as dedicated to partying as she is to magic. What secrets is she hiding?
Henry Fogg (Rick Worthy) is a Brakebills University Dean. Brakebills Professor Sunderland (Anne Dudek) serves as Penny’s mentor.

What do you think? Do you like The Magicians TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a sixth season?
maintain the series. otherwise we will sic margo on you. cheers
It’s one the best shows on TV right now. but it’s understandable it got canceled it what the SYFY channel does. You find a show you like, get invested in it and they cancel it. I’m sorry SYFY is not thee only channel to do it. They just perfected it better than th others.
This show should not be canceled. It lets you use your imagination and it is fun to watch.
Apparently, the decision to cancel this was made about 3 weeks ago, and that really sucks. One episode left. I probably would have stopped watching had I seen the March 6th article. No sense in tormenting myself.
This show should not be canceled! I have a look forward to this over the past five years. Best actors best writing love the music
This show should have definitely been renewed!!! I have just found this within the last year and have been binge watching ever since. Great story line and excellent characters with top of the line writing. Every sentence is compelling and funny and worth contemplating . The cast is phenomenal. They collectively make everything Not only believable but addictive. This is a great loss!!!
We love the Magicians. Please have a season 6. This wit and humor is not seen in any other show
This is a great show. I hope that it gets picked up by someone.
The Magicians has been a mainstay. Please renew the series. SYFY keeps dropping series or going to high dollar netflix, amazon etc… I am a VietNam disabled vet and cannot keep up with the cost. Guess I do not matter.
Please renew! This show is different, imaginative, worthy! Please renew!
I have to thank the Sci-Fi Channel for the Magicians series. They did a marvelous job converting Lev Grossman’s masterpiece Trilogy into a wonderful television series. I am however saddened that they are not renewing it for a 6th season as it is the best series Sci-Fi ever had and I can’t imagine they could come ever close to replacing it. For those whose lives will be sadly diminished by the end of the series I recommend obtaining the audio version of the books read by Mark Bramhall. He does an excellent job bringing the books to life and you… Read more »
Don’t cancel this show, it’s amazing!!!
Don’t cancel it. I want more.
Love it! Keep it coming.
Awesome….. keep up the good work
