How to Watch ‘The Magicians’ Online – Live Stream Season 5

By Gabriela Vatu / January 15, 2020

We love losing ourselves in fantasy titles, so watching The Magicians is something that can have us lose ourselves into this wonderful world. We love watching The Magicians online, so we think that you should find the best way to do this as well.

The Magicians premiered back in December 2015, and it has managed to keep everyone on their toes ever since. The story follows Quentin Coldwater, who enrolled in a University for Magical Pedagogy to be trained as a magician. There he discovers that the childhood books he read are actually real, and they pose a danger to humans. The next seasons continue to follow Quinton through this journey.

Jason Ralph plays Quentin Coldwater, while Stella Maeve plays Julia Wicker, who is Quentin's childhood friend.

Syfy is a channel that is thankfully very easy to watch online as it comes included with numerous live TV platforms.

How Can I Watch The Magicians When Traveling Outside of the United States?

Watching content when you travel outside of the United States is somewhat trickier because live TV platforms and streaming services alike are geo-blocked. This happens because the content is licensed to certain countries, and the creators can resell that specific content to other nations for extra money. Basically, when you travel outside of the United States, you lose access to the services you pay for back home, which can be quite frustrating. Thankfully, the problem can be solved relatively easily with the help of a VPN that can change your IP address, so you appear to be back in the United States rather than what corner of the world you're actually in.

In terms of services, we can recommend ExpressVPN, which comes with thousands of servers across the world and tight security and privacy features to help you out.

Here's how you can use ExpressVPN to watch The Magicians anywhere you go:

Can I Watch The Magicians on the Syfy Website?

Yes, you can enjoy a live stream of the Syfy network on their website. In order to do this, you will need to log in to an account by using credentials from your TV provider, which can be one of the aforementioned live TV services or a cable company if you are yet to cut the cord. (Note: You need to keep in mind that the Syfy live stream is geo-blocked so, if you're going to travel outside of the United States for any reason, you will need a VPN to access the content.

Can I Binge-watch The Magicians?

You can absolutely do this, as you will find episodes from The Magicians available on the Syfy website. You can also find the episodes available to stream on Netflix, so you can choose to go that route as well.
