Summary
The Magicianscame to an goal with time of year 5 back in 2020 , but there are a number of spinoffs that could work based on the characters and storylines introduced over the course of its tally — andthe best choice would be even obscure than the original Syfy serial . accommodate from Lev Grossman ’s best - selling novels , The Magiciansoffers a bleaker - than - normal take on the fantasy genre ’s wizardly shoal figure of speech . It also introduce a down in the mouth version of C.S. Lewis ' Narnia , delivering a fantasy show that upend viewer expectations and feel more fledged than other stories like it .
Despite its darker themes , The Magicians’endingis a fairly affirmative one — and it ’s unequivocal enough that reelect to the original narration would be a fault . However , the world and lore withinThe Magicians’universe leaves the door open for adventures separate from those of Quentin and his schoolmate .
All five season ofThe Magiciansare presently pour on Netflix .
Although there are severalThe Magiciansspinoffsthat could expand upon the original show , a prequel following the Chatwin phratry would undoubtedly be the most interesting wayto proceed the news report . The Chatwins play an important role inThe Magicians , as the sib discover Fillory prior to the serial publication ' main character . Each of them goes on to have their own adventure , which are covered in theFillory and Furtherbook serial Quentin loves . Quentin also meets several of the adult Chatwin siblings duringThe Magicians , though they ’re a far cry from the characters he farm up reading about .
Each of the Chatwin children has interesting narratives to explore in a spinoff , butJane and Martin would be especially interesting to follow . Chronicling their early journey to Fillory would show viewers what the world was like prior toThe Magicians , while later time of year could reveal how Jane and Martin became the characters seen in the original show . Martin ’s position would serve as a villain stock history , meaning anyMagiciansspinoff focused on the Chatwins would be inherently dark than its predecessor . Jane ’s tale also ends in tragedy , but that does n’t mean it ’s not worth exploring .
Martin Chatwin’s Fate Would Make This Spinoff Series Darker Than The Original
Martin Chatwin becomesThe Magiciansvillain dubbed The Beast after his adventures with his sibling in Fillory , and his coloured round would doubtlessly be fascinating to witness in actual time . The Beast is born of Martin ’s pain in the ass , and his backstory includes a history of intimate revilement at the hands of theFillory and Furtherauthor Christopher Plover . Whilethis prospect of Martin ’s origin story would be unmanageable to digest , it would elicit fellow feeling for him as a character and allow viewers to in full understand his side of the write up .
Martin ’s hike to office and early yr ruling Fillory would also be interesting to see , as would his back - and - Forth River with his sister , Jane . Jane attempts to terminate Martin ’s reign with the help of Brakebills student , and she fails repeatedly in these efforts . Martin eventually finds a way to kill her inThe Magiciansseason 1 , so Jane ’s story is destined to be a disaster . However , the twelvemonth she spends opposing her brother are shrouded in mystery — and judging by her personality in the original show , they ’d be fun to follow , even if witness know she ’ll neglect .
How A Darker Magicians Prequel Could Work
The earlyseasons ofThe Magiciansare compelling because of their bleak tone and realistic coming to fantasy storytelling . lean into these strengths would only help aMagiciansspinoff , peculiarly if the Chatwins ' backstory is handled right . The difficult topics a prequel of this nature would report could work to its reward , tolerate the series to comment on subjects that are , unfortunately , still relevant in the real world . The complicated sib kinship that develop from the part ' time in Fillory would also extend a unique on - screen dynamic .
With prequels likeHouse of the DragonandBetter Call Saulseeing massive success , it ’s clear that consultation do n’t take care eff where certain role will end up at the end of a spinoff — and they do n’t seem to give care that many series like these build to unhappy endings . The fact that the sibling ' early day in Fillory are n’t so dire imply the shift will be jarring . Still , with the correct coming , The Magicianscan successfully tap into the Chatwins ' story , even if part of it are already countersink in Harlan Fiske Stone .
