Now You See Me Franchise Might Be Getting The Series Treatment

by

The new movie is coming to cinemas next month, and Lionsgate is already thinking about creating a spin-off series to continue the story.

Producer Bobby Cohen has confirmed they’ve been talking about creating a TV series. However, the project will only happen if they can develop a strong and compelling idea. Cohen explained that they don’t want to simply stretch the movie’s plot into a longer format. Instead, they’re aiming for something completely new and different.

Cohen described a possible storyline for the show. He’s met many magicians who often begin as apprentices or work behind the scenes for famous Vegas performers. He suggested a plot where a well-known magician is murdered, and his four assistants immediately become the main suspects.

Cohen explained that the characters will need to rely on magic to clear their names and uncover the true culprit. He added that they aimed to create something that felt connected to the original source material, but wasn’t a direct copy. While he couldn’t confirm the series was officially happening, he expressed his enthusiasm for the franchise and its lasting impact.

We really revitalized interest in magic, and I think a TV series would be a great way to build on that. It’s rewarding to hear from young magicians who say this franchise inspired them to learn the art, and I believe expanding into television would be a natural and exciting next step.
