SyFy have officially renewed the magic based teen TV show The Magicians for another series. Currently in its third series and based upon popular book series by Lev Grossman, The Magicians has been at the top of the US rating figures, and this renewal is a reflection of this. The fourth series order will be 13 episodes long and air some time in 2019 with the current run finishing in the US in April.

The creators, who are behind ‘Louis and Clark’ and ‘Supernatural’, have also confirmed that the ninth episode of season four will be a musical. Members of the cast, including Jason Ralph, have demonstrated their vocal talents in past episodes and it is now believed to be the time that a full episode musical is attempted. These musicals episodes are fast becoming a cornerstone for established shows, despite always dividing the fans.

The Magicians airs here in the UK on 5Star and has yet to broadcast series 3,which picks up from the cliffhanger and sends the group on a quest to collect the 7 keys needed to save the world.
