The Magicians aired its fifth and final season in 2020, and it left a lot of fans missing the show’s unique dark comedy and fantasy aspects. The Magicians is based on a series of books by Lev Grossman and it was described as Harry Potter but for adults. While there are no shows that are quite like The Magicians, there are some great fantasy series that fans of the series should love.
