Brakebills University isn't your ordinary school...it's a world where magic is real. Now where else can you find a school at which to hone the skills of magicians? I ask you! Oh...wait.
Check out the trailer after the show's official description (via Syfy) and then let us know if you're dazzled enough to watch. It looks interesting and I like the possibility of potential world domination by magicians.
Based upon Lev Grossman's best-selling books, The Magicians stars Jason Ralph (A Most Violent Year, Aquarius) as Quentin Coldwater, a brilliant grad student who enrolls in Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy, a secret upstate New York university specializing in magic. He and his 20-something friends soon discover that the magical fantasy world they read about as children is all too real— and poses grave danger to humanity. Stella Maeve (Chicago P.D.), Hale Appleman (Teeth), Arjun Gupta (Nurse Jackie) and Summer Bishil (Towelhead, Lucky 7) also star in this one hour drama.
