The Magicians Season 4 Reviews and Episode Guide

The Magicians season 4 was quite a ride! In the season three finale of The Magicians, magic was finally restored by unlocking the fountain at the other end of the Wellspring, but the Library, Irene McAllistair and Dean Fogg swooped in to reroute magic to themselves. The result has been a season with the Order as a fascist power controlling everyone’s access to magic with the hedge witches as an obvious target.

Elsewhere, an ancient, powerful and unkillable Monster escaped confinement and jumped bodies to a new host, Eliot. The quest in The Magicians season 4 appears to center around uncovering hidden memories and a betrayal by the gods who imprisoned the Monster to begin with.
