On Monday, January 25th, the two-hour series premiere of The Magicians begins at 9 pm EST on Showcase in Canada! Based on Lev Grossman's bestselling novel of the same name, The Magicians is set at Brakebills University, a secretive and exclusive school where students learn modern magic.
Here's some more information about The Magicians from Showcase's official website for the new TV series:
Based on Lev Grossman’s best-selling book series, The Magicians follows Quentin Coldwater, a highly intelligent but socially withdrawn twenty-something secretly obsessed with a series of fantasy novels he read as a child about a magical land called Fillory. Beyond that, Quentin's life is dull until he finds himself admitted to a very secret, exclusive college of magic in Upstate New York, where he receives a thorough and rigorous education in the practice of modern sorcery. However, magic doesn’t bring the happiness, adventure, and meaning that he thought it would…until he and his friends discover that Fillory is real.
