Last season, magic was saved, but at a terrible cost: the life of Quentin Coldwater, who died heroically to save his friends— and the world. Julia, Alice, Eliot, Margo, Penny and their friends (and frenemies) must learn to navigate a world without him. Now, a new threat has arisen: in freeing magic, the balance tipped the other way and there’s too damn much of it, and as the excess builds, an apocalypse looms. Can the magicians get their shit together to save the world without Q?

The Magicians has been a force of nature from the very start, growing its audience each season and weaving a tale that bridged our world with the storybook land of Fillory and has become more and more complex ever since. Given its massive appeal, including our glowing reviews over the years, the anticipation has been high for the return of season 5.

The Magicians season 5 made its return on January 15, 2020 in the Wednesday, 10/9c timeslot on Syfy. The next episode is a double header! We'll have "Apocalypse? Now?!" followed by "Oops!... I Did It Again" both of which will air on February 12, 2020. Here's a look at the promo



In season 4, the series starred Jason Ralph, Stella Maeve, Olivia Taylor Dudley, Hale Appleman, Arjun Gupta, Summer Bishil, Rick Worthy, Jade Tailor, Brittany Curran and Trevor Einhorn. Everyone of those cast members is expected to return, save for Ralph.
