The Magicians Showrunner Demystifies Season 5 Ending


If hedges still have lunatics on retainer, then the moon is still messed up, so how do “internal circumstances” work?

The lesson for Alice about internal circumstances was more about that she had lost the magical use of her fingers, having her fingers severed and re-attached, made it impossible for her to properly adjust what she was doing with one hand and cast properly. And the lesson she got from Zelda was that in order to learn how to cast with the same power and thought that she had before, she needed to understand and accept all of her flaws, all of the ways in which she was broken, which is the lesson of the season.

They were all so grief-laden and broken by the death of Quentin. There’s really no moving on without him, but you have to move on. I imagine that being like she’s accepting her scars; her scars are who she is, and once she accepts who she is, it actually gives her a deeper control.

Did you think of Margo pushing that button to release the population of Fillory as the ultimate open-ended conclusion?

Yes! I just found the look on Summer’s face was so delightful, and it felt very emblematic of the whole show to me. She looks a little worried but also a little excited and also kind of finds it funny, which completely encapsulated the whole show. And I love cutting to black at that moment because whatever’s going to happen next, you can imagine.

And imagine, we will!
