This is largely due to the fact that the fans of the book wish to personally verify how credible the creators managed to convey the atmosphere, revealed by a written history. While talking about such a series in the genre of fantasy as The Magicians, it is worth noting that the authors took as a basis Lev Grossman’s novel. By today the public has watched one full season of this show, and rather a logical question the viewers are worried about is as follows: will The Magicians return for season 2? Release date of the coming new episode has already been officially presented. The next season two is scheduled for January 25, 2016.
