Syfy has released a very fun featurette which takes fans behind the scenes of the hit series The Magicians, where Season 2 is currently in production. Clocking in at a little over two minutes, the video features quick interviews with the cast, and a sneak peek at one of the new, breathtaking sets we’ll see in the new season!
“This season is bigger, it’s better,” says Hale Appleman (Eliot Waugh). “It’s a huge journey and the story is really taking off.” And the cast absolutely can’t wait to show you what they’ve got in store! “We can’t wait to drop some crazy, fun, exciting new episodes for you all,” exclaims Arjun Gupta (William ‘Penny’ Adiyodi). “Get ready!”
Based on the bestselling novels from Lev Grossman, Syfy’s hit drama THE MAGICIANS centers on Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph) and his 20-something friends as they discover their magical abilities at Brakebills University, a secret grad school specializing in magic.
While there, they come to the realization that the fantasies they read about as children are all too real, and unwittingly invite a malevolent entity from the other side into their lives.
Heading into Season 2, this group of unlikely heroes have been thrust into even more dangerous and unfamiliar territory, and must draw upon their novice skills to defeat a threat that could destroy the magical world itself.
Driven by power, revenge and survival, they learn that those who entered the hauntingly beautiful world of Fillory will never be the same as those who leave.
The Magicians Season 2 premieres Wednesday, January 25, on Syfy.
