Synopsis
In Syfy’s hit series THE MAGICIANS, we meet Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph, “Aquarius”), a brilliant grad student chosen to attend Brakebills University for Magical Pedagogy, a secret upstate New York university specializing in magic. Based on Lev Grossman’s New York Times best-selling fantasy trilogy and produced by Universal Cable Productions, the series follows Quentin and his fellow grad student friends who soon discover that the magical fantasy world they read about as children is all too real – and poses grave danger to humanity.
