Syfy debuted a new trailer at New York Comic Con for "The Magicians," the upcoming drama based on the bestselling fantasy trilogy by Lev Grossman.

The series stars Jason Ralph (“A Most Violent Year,” “Aquarius”) as Quentin Coldwater, a brilliant and withdrawn young man recruited as a student at the mysterious Brakebills College for Magical Pedagogy in Upstate New York, where he discovers that the Narnia-like world from a series of children’s books he loved as a child is all too real and poses a danger to humanity.

Stella Maeve (“Chicago P.D.”), Hale Appleman (“Teeth”), Arjun Gupta (“Nurse Jackie”), Summer Bishil (“Towelhead,” “Lucky 7″) and Olivia Taylor Dudley ("The Vatican Tapes") also star. "The Magicians" begins its 12-episode first season in 2016.
