Jan 26, 2017. The Magicians shouldn't be a good TV show. The series, adapted from Lev Grossman's popular series of adult-oriented fantasy novels, has a lot working against it. Not only is it hard to do genuine fantasy well on TV, it's even harder to do it when nearly everything onscreen inherently draws comparisons to. April 12, 2017 AT 02:00 PM EDT. The Magicians has been renewed for a 13-episode third season, which is expected to debut in 2018, Syfy announced Wednesday. Based on Lev Grossman's bestselling novels, The Magicians follows Quentin Goldwater (Jason Ralph) and his friends, who are all thrust into the mysterious. ![]() Syfy’s fills a void in the TV landscape that’s stood empty for a very, very long time. I realized this while watching the first few episodes of season two, which premieres Wednesday, January 25: With its kicky, pulpy blend of quippy dialogue, pop culture references, continual inventiveness, and deeply painful plot twists, the show feels like some long-lost second cousin of. I already liked the show quite a bit in season one (enough to name it one of my ), but it’s taken a big step up in its second season. The jokes are sharper. The emotional turns are more hard-hitting. And the series’ playful spirit is more evident than ever. Rating 4.5 Given that The Magicians is about kids who go to a magic school named Brakebills and end up ruling a magical kingdom named Fillory on another plane of existence, the show’s dramatic stakes are always high. But The Magicians excels because it never forgets that high dramatic stakes only work when they’re rooted in believable emotional stakes. Buffy struck this balance beautifully in a way that many of its imitators struggled to replicate, but that The Magicians seems to understand. Of course, to many TV fans, comparing something to Buffy is like encroaching on sacred territory. The series, which ran for seven seasons from 1997 to 2003, is a genuine landmark in television storytelling, a pitch-perfect blend of pop culture savvy and dark twists and turns inspired by Marvel comics. ![]() Favorably mentioning any other show in the same sentence as Buffy is high praise indeed — and all but inviting the uncompromising scrutiny of its still fervent fan base (of which I am a member). But I think the comparison holds. In season two, The Magicians is darker, deeper, and just plain better than it was in season one, and it makes a claim for being one of the most unexpectedly great shows on television. How did it pull off such a feat? I traveled to set in Vancouver to find out. Step one: root genre stories in personal pain 'It felt a little like feeling the elephant in the dark,” says, the co-creator and co-showrunner of. “There's a trunk, what does that mean. There's a tail, what does that mean. A third or halfway through the season, it was like, 'Okay, here's the show. This is what it is.' ' He’s speaking about The Magicians’ first season, which turned off some fans and critics with a slow, clunky start. The — which you can watch along with the rest of the first season — worked too hard to cram too much of its source material, and its two sequels, into one hour of television. That made for an arresting cliffhanger at the end of the episode, at the cost of providing a clear sense of what the show would be (or how it could possibly keep moving at that pace). Quentin, Alice, and Penny do some quick magical research. Syfy McNamara and co-creator — who, along with producer, optioned Grossman’s book trilogy with their own money, after an earlier attempt to adapt the books for television — describe the early days of season one as a challenging, sometimes frustrating time. In particular, when trying to sell the series, many of the networks they pitched insisted the show should only be about the magic school or the magical kingdom, but not both; their attempt to justify the presence of both elements seems to be one of the main reasons behind that strained, overstuffed pilot. But once the first episode was completed, essentially everyone on the show, even at the network executive level, quickly grasped what The Magicians should be.

Into the Badlands Season 3 is a go over at AMC! The series, blending an apocalyptic setting with mystical martial-arts tropes, established itself as a formidable peak television offering in its late-2015 Season 1 run. Since Season 2 was widely considered a big improvement on the creative front, Into the Badlands Season 3 will happen in 2018, with a larger order of 15 episodes this time around. Into the Badlands Season 3 Cast New The series will have a few new regular characters. Sherman Augustus ( Westworld), who appeared in season two as Nathaniel Moon, is coming back for more. ![]() His character will join forces with The Widow and hopes to get revenge on Sunny. Babou Ceesay ( Guerilla) joins the cast and will play Pilgrim, 'a zealous warlord who is on a quest to recover a mysterious artifact from Azra that could tip the balance of power in the Badlands.' Ella-Rae Smith ( Clique) plays Nix, 'a teenager whom Pilgrim loves like his own child and uses her dark abilities to enforce his will.' Lorraine Toussaint joins Into the Badlands Season 3 as a new series regular. Toussaint will play Cressida, described as “a self-styled Prophetess and mentor to Pilgrim. She is his spiritual guide, political counsel and chief military strategist.” The recurring guest stars for the season include Dean-Charles Chapman and Lewis Tan. By Into the Badlands Season 3 Renewal AMC’s renewal for Into the Badlands Season 3 came in the middle of season two back in April. The network cited an average viewership of 3.6 million viewers per episode, with 2.1 million coming from the adults ages 25-54 demographic, also touting the series as the #4 ranked scripted drama on cable, only behind The Walking Dead, FX’s American Horror Story and Fear the Walking Dead, making it an AMC-dominant dominant top 5. As Charlie Collier, president of AMC, SundanceTV and AMC Studios expresses with enthusiasm: “ Into the Badlands looks like nothing else on television, a literal high-wire act attracting passionate and dedicated fans by the millions. Thanks to series creators and showrunners Al Gough and Miles Millar, the terrific cast, led by Daniel Wu, the amazing martial arts team guided by the incomparable Master Dee Dee and fight directors Stephen Fung and Andy Cheng, and everyone else involved who brings this thrill ride to the fans.” However, Into the Badlands has seen a slow hemorrhaging of viewership since its November 12, 2015 pilot brought in 6.3 million viewers and Season 2 yielded about half of its Season 1 averages. Yet, AMC – who own the series – maintains enthusiasm for Into the Badlands’ visually stunning lost-world, quasi-feudal setting and magnificent martial-arts sequences. The series was created by executive producers/showrunners/writers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. Into the Badlands stars American-born Hong Kong star Daniel Wu as Sunny, a former assassin (called a Clipper), who, after the Season 1 fallout with his former “baron” Quinn (Marton Csokas), is trying to find his way home to his love Veil (Madeleine Mantock) and newborn infant son, with a new roguish friend Bajie (Nick Frost) in tow. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hollis Johnson The mark of many luxury watches — indeed, most — is a mark on the face, usually just below where the hands attach to the case.
