In the books, Julia’s journey was told (via several chapters of flashback) in the second book, The Magician King, while the Syfy series had her machinations run concurrently with the other characters. While the show’s plot has diverged from the books, certain elements have also been grafted on top of one another.
In the show, Quentin is joined in his adventures and misadventures by fellow students Alice, Penny, Eliot, and Margo, but also his childhood friend Julia, a magically inclined woman who did not get admitted into Brakebills. That’s the case until it turns out that Fillory is real too. When he grows up, he discovers an elite secret magical school called Brakebills where real magicians think fantasy crap like the Fillory books is a joke. “Even I get shocked by what happens,” he told Inverse, “and I wrote the damn books.”īoth the show and the books focus on Quentin Coldwater, a young man obsessed with a series of fantasy books collectively called Fillory and Further. But thanks to magic and a shifting medium, that’s not always the case. The characters he originally dreamed up in his Magicians books are about to embark on their second television season, meaning Grossman theoretically has all the answers as to what lies ahead. When author Lev Grossman watches Syfy’s The Magicians, he’s sometimes surprised by what he sees.
