I'm not going to put on any airs here, DO NOT READ FURTHER if you don't want spoilers for the fourth season finale of SYFY's The Magicians. Here's a picture of Lizard King Eliot (Hale Appleman) and a giant stop sign to show you how serious I am. Okay, you stuck around. So I'm posting […]
Penny (Arjun Gupta) and Marina (Kacey Rohl) find themselves imprisoned by a magician desperate to send them to their home dimension in "A Timeline and Place", one of the more interesting examinations of the multiverse on SYFY's The Magicians to date. Stoppard is a horomancer, someone who creates magical devices to manipulate magical energy. He is […]
With all of the Eliot-centric shenanigans going on during last week's The Magicians, it would be easy to forget that Penny (Arjun Gupta) was abducted part way through the episode! Don't worry, Penny. We'll never forget you, Boo. Except, maybe we will? It looks like Penny and Marina (Kacey Rohl) are at the mercy of […]
Josh (Trevor Einhorn) is having nightmares. Terrible, bloody nightmares. Josh is also a Lycanthrope, so those nightmares do not bode well for him. Margo (Summer Bishil) decides that she's going to help Josh find a cure, and we're launched into a very creative parable of modern dating, consent, and remorse. "Marry, F**ck, Kill" is one […]
SYFY's The Magicians is often funny, but rarely does it just floor the joke peddle and go for broke. The latest episode "The Bad News Bear" does exactly that, and succeeds in launching this rocket-powered funny car of a show into new levels of magical comedy. You wouldn't think you're in for such an entertainingly […]

The Magicians is back for an all new season of mystical mishaps on SYFY! We're only one episode in, and things are already looking pretty dire for our favorite group of magical misfits! And with the name of the second episode being "Lost, Found, F***ed," it doesn't look like things will be calming down any […]
SYFY's The Magicians hit the ground running with season four's midseason return, "A Flock of Lost Birds." A young woman named Kimber is lured to a gate in New York City by a fluttering piece of paper. She climbs the gate, and finds herself at the Brakebills School for Pedagogy. Kimber takes the entrance exams, […]
SYFY's The Magicians is back for an all-new season of magic, mayhem, and (maybe) music this Wednesday night! If you need a refresher–and don't have an extra 30 hours to spare binge-watching the series–we have conjured up this handy little refresher course for you, and it's all Brakebill's approved!

We're just a few weeks away from the fourth season of The Magicians, and SYFY has a spiffy trailer to help you get pumped up for all the magic and mayhem coming your way. And while it might be true that "Magic is Back," it also looks like the nefarious Library isn't planning on giving […]
One of the real interesting things to come out of season 1 of The Magicians had to do with time. And I'm going to give away a spoiler for season 1 here, but if you're reading articles about season 3 and you haven't seen season 1, then I can't really do much about that. Near […]
I think the Magicians really like going to extremes. One of my favorite scenes from season one was a song and dance number inside of an mental institution where Quentin (Jason Ralph) tried to use a song Penny (Arjun Gupta) hated in order to send a message. It was the thing that got me hooked […]
Good news for fans of Brakebills and Fillory, Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph) and his group of 20-something magicians will be back for at least another season. Syfy has officially announced that The Magicians, based on the novels by Lev Grossman, will be returning for a fourth season. The series has been the network's top performing […]
Last night's episode of The Magicians introduced us to Poppy Kline, a graduate of Brakebills and an expert in Dragons. She is played by fan-favorite actress Felicia Day (Supernatural, The Guild, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog). And while the character is surprisingly up and peppy all the time, Day describes her as, "geeky, loves dragons, loves […]
On tonight's episode of The Magicians, Felicia Day joins the cast as a character straight from the book. Day will be playing Poppy, a dragon expert from Brakebills who meets up with Quentin (Jason Ralph). Quentin is out on the seas looking for the next key, and you have to wonder: will a dragon expert […]
The Magicians continue on their quest to obtain the seven keys that will allow them to bring back magic to the world. And this particular key is rather interesting to get. The A story focuses on Quentin (Jason Ralph) and Eliot (Hale Appleman) going through a clock into Fillory's past. They have the task of […]
Epic quests, Fairy spies, sparks of magic, and exploding cats — that's what makes up the second episode of The Magicians season 3. The episode, called Heroes and Morons, introduces us to Fray, the daughter of Eliot (Hale Appleman) and Fen (Brittany Curran). She is also a spy for the Fairy Queen (Candis Cayne). The […]
Last night saw the third season premiere of The Magicians on Syfy, and the story picked up right where the last season ended. Magic is gone because Quentin (Jason Ralph) killed a god, yet Julia (Stella Maeve) can still do some tiny bits of magic. The Elves have taken over Fillory leaving Eliot (Hale Appleman) […]
The third season of The Magicians kicks off tonight on Syfy, and the show takes a major turn in setting once again.
