Most of the cast has finished filming for the season and there's been a few hints that someone else leaves at the end of the season.

A couple of the cast members posted some things on Instagram that they've since deleted that sort of implied that season 5 is the end of the series and I am SHOOK.

Hardly surprising, Syfy has probably had a hard on for cancelling it for ages.

It's their best performing show, so that's unlikely.

I suspect Syfy's being shuttered generally, in preparation for NBC's streaming channel.

Trevor Einhorn made it sound like he'd done his final wardrobe session and Stella Maeve called it a closed chapter. It doesn't sound great for the show long term.

Did you miss the line where she acknowledges that there is talk of it being over? I've seen a lot of that chatter on the assorted social media posts and clearly she's aware of it.

She literally says "if you think its over, it's not!" dude


But yeah this is probably the last season imo

I mean. The fact that some cast members posted about a chapter of their life being over (presumably because they don’t survive the season) throws up a bunch of confusion as to whether it’s over in general or over for them specifically.

She literally says "we hope to get at least one more season." It sounds like she knows it isn't likely and is trying to rally fan support.

I'm reading it a different way because "You think it's over but it's not, we want at least one more" is more positive than what you are putting down.

I'm reading negatively because I've seen multiple other posts implying that it's done. I hope it's not and they get to keep going but even if it does it sounds like others are out at the end of season 5.

Five seasons is still a drat good run in this day and age. I want more but wouldn't be surprised if they called it quits. They wrote off a main character and got hella backlash for it, that may well affect season 5 viewership.

That annoyed the shitbout of me, Jason Ralph wanted out, that's why Q died. It just happened to work incredibly well with the story and had the right emotional punch.

I'd buy that as a theory more than Magician's being canceled for any reason aside from the people making it wanting to end the story this season.

Even in that case it's quite possible for the show to find another home, though that's relatively rare. Still, I never count out a show that has a comic-con panel from possibly pulling something off if it's canceled or there's a network upheaval.

I think one more season would be a good thing. Too many shows on TV get run into the ground and persist long after no one gave a gently caress about them because the quality dropped (I'm looking at you, HIMYM; yes I'm STILL pissed about that).

I'm not gonna speculate about the show wrapping. I love these characters, but every story needs a conclusion. But that said; why not go the route of the new comic series and do a new Brakebills class. Or a period piece? Magicians is well positioned for a "Next Generation" style sequel to tell more stories with similar themes and settings.

I don't want it to end, but after last season I'm confident that they can write an ending that I'd be happy with.

That said I could watch a dozen seasons of it and I'd watch all these

You’re not wrong, but himym was garbage from episode one with the possible exception of NPH. Shame they only gave him a couple of jokes and made him repeat them over and over and over.

HIMYM was at its best, cute. I never saw an episode where I laughed, but it certainly had a charming cast.

BBT was actually dumb. I don't understand how it last so long. Someone else put it far better than I did, but it wasn't a show about nerds that would use nerd culture to make jokes. It made nerd culture the joke.

Blonde Neighbor: What's your favorite movie? Mine is Dirty Dancing.

Nerdy Neighbor: Star Wars

AUDIENCE LAUGHTER

Blonde Neighbor: I work in sales. What's your job?

Nerdy Neighbor: Nuclear Engineer

UPROARIOUS AUDIENCE LAUGHTER

I think all the worries about The Magicians being canceled are premature. SyFy renewed the show for this upcoming fifth season just days before season 4 premiered. It's SyFy's highest rated show, and while its budget has gone up, it's still not super expensive. I'd be surprised if they canceled it, unless season 5 was just really bad.

It was a totally accurate depiction of the kind of nerd who gets jobs in Silicon Valley or Washington DC and anyone who disagrees ain't never lived or worked in one of those places, or has huge blinders on and exists solely on a diet of denial and lack of self reflection.

e: It also sucked and wasn't funny, don't get me wrong, but it was spot on.

SyFy had to ditch The Expanse because otherwise there would have been an Avasarala vs Margo cuss-off and the No-Cussing Club would lose its shucks.
