SCRIPT BY JOHN MCNAMARA (Prime Suspect) AND SERA GAMBLE (Supernatural) WITH MICHAEL LONDON (MILK) AS PRODUCER
NEW YORK – July 10, 2014 – Continuing its strategy to create bold and distinctive sci-fi fantasy drama, Syfy today announced that it has greenlit a pilot of The Magicians, an adaptation of Lev Grossman’s best-selling fantasy book series which has been published in 22 countries.
From Universal Cable Productions, the pilot script was written by John McNamara (Prime Suspect) and Sera Gamble (Supernatural). Michael London (Milk) and Janice Williams (All Good Girls) are set to produce.
The one-hour drama follows 20-somethings who, while studying magic in New York, discover that the magical fantasy world they read about as children is all too real and poses a grave danger to humanity.
In making the announcement, Dave Howe, President, Syfy, said: “Lev Grossman’s dazzling blend of magic and realism will capture the imagination of a new generation of viewers and further strengthen Syfy’s ownership of premium quality sci-fi fantasy drama.”

Yay, more books I have to add to my list now. Help.
ReplyDeleteCool SYFY has really stepped it up a notch. I'm eagerly awaiting news on Letter 44 as well.
ReplyDeleteSame here, it feels like every time I finish a book another 5 get added to the list.
ReplyDeleteHas your TBR (To Be Read) pile hit 40 yet?
ReplyDeleteAlthough suggestion that really worked for me...in terms of getting through all the books I wanted to read. I started listening to audio books. I can "read" while driving. A lot of books in the Urban Fantasy genre have been getting recorded (James Marsters performances reading the Dresden novels is fantastic. ) I live in a commuter (1 hour each way for my current job) area a good book makes the drive less stressful and I get to enjoy way more books than I was before.
sounds cool.... sounds kinda like the Harry Dresden books/short lived series starring Paul Blackthorne that was on SyFy a few years ago that was pretty good... I'll definitely give this a look if it comes out
ReplyDeleteYup, I'm pretty sure I'm there!
ReplyDeleteOh, please be good, please. Battlestar Galactica was so long ago now.
