The Magicians - News

"The Magicians has been a part of our SYFY family for five fantastic seasons," the network said in a statement. "As we near the end of this journey, we want to thank John McNamara, Sera Gamble, Henry Alonso Myers, Lev Grossman, and our entire brilliant cast, crew, writers, and directors for their beautiful creation. But most of all, we thank the fans for their tremendous support and passion. Because of you, magic will be in our hearts forever.”

Syfy is showing confidence in The Magicians. Days before the drama based on the Lev Grossman novels returns for its fourth season, the NBCUniversal-owned cable network has renewed the drama starring Jason Ralph.

Anthony Ingram has been cast as a Manphibian named Lord Fresh, a part-man, part-amphibian Lord of All Fillorian Fresh Waters.

Jolene Purdy (Orange Is The New Black) is set for a recurring role on the fourth season of Syfy’s The Magicians. Purdy will play Shoshana, a maenad, a bright and highly emotional magical creature tasked with tending to notorious party god Bacchus; she stands as gatekeeper between the deity and an old buddy who desperately seeks him.
