Welcome to Brakebills, a world where magic is real. “The Magicians” is a new series coming to Syfy in 2016, and we have a look at the show’s trailer right here.
Based upon Lev Grossman’s best-selling books, “The Magicians” stars Jason Ralph as Quentin Coldwater, a brilliant grad student who enrolls in Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy, a secret upstate New York university specializing in magic. He and his 20-something friends soon discover that the magical fantasy world they read about as children is all too real— and poses grave danger to humanity. Stella Maeve, Hale Appleman, Arjun Gupta, and Summer Bishil also star in this one-hour drama.
Groundswell Productions’ Michael London and Janice Williams executive produce. John McNamara and Sera Gamble, writers of the pilot, serve as executive producers.
Lev Grossman’s Magicians trilogy is an international sensation, published and widely praised in more than twenty countries. The epic conclusion to the series, The Magician’s Land, opened at #1 last summer on The New York Times Hardcover Best Seller’s list and was widely acclaimed as one of the best books of the year.
“Ever since The Magicians was published, I’ve wanted to see this story on screen,” said Grossman. “The people, the school, the other worlds, the magic. I’m so thrilled that it’s finally happening, and I’m beyond thrilled that we found the right people to do it. Get ready; you’ve never seen anything like this.”
