The veteran drama will end its run in April.
March 3, 2020
Word is out this morning that The Magicians will be coming to an end after its current fifth season. The sad news comes with five episodes remaining in the drama's run, with its finale on April 1 now set to act as its series ender.
The show was a solid performer for the cable network during its time on the air. Over the course of 60+ episodes it has garnered generally-favorable reviews from both critics and audiences, while pulling in decent ratings among key demographics.
Adapted from the Lev Grossman novel trilogy of the same name, The Magicians follows a graduate student who enrolls at a magical college only to discover that the fantasy world from popular children's books is actually based in truth and poses a danger to his world.

5 seasons for a very eclectic show is a very good run indeed. I wish for more but considering how few sci fi and horror shows last more than a single season, this show goes out a winner. However this means probably a cliffhanger ending , same with hawaii five 0. They filmed these episodes probably last year and therefore endings woild not be planned.

I really liked this show the first and second season. It went downhill after that. I had hope for the new season, after the got rid of Quentin, but was very disappointed. No real loss at this point.

Well that blows... I was enjoying the show. Maybe Netflix will pick it up for a season or 2. I had a feeling the show was dead when they killed off the main guy. Made no sense.. but ok.

DWB609 You are an idiot, what do you want a medal? most shows get cancelled. You were wrong and trying to back pedal now because you said it would get cancelled after season 2.
