Hearing the words Magic City brings about thoughts of several cities that have adopted the title, if not another big Criss Angel or David Blaine special. However, just mention the name Jeffrey Dean Morgan and a radical redefinition takes place.
What to Expect on Magic City season 1:
Starz’s upcoming series Magic City is set in Miami in the late 1950s, where mobsters were the kings of the streets. They also had dealers and gangsters, strippers and cops, making the city shine with personality.

But this period drama follows the life of luxury hotel boss Ike Evans (Morgan), head of the splendid Miramar Playa Hotel. Things aren’t as spic and span as he’d like it to be though, because he’s involved with some dangerous people. Worse, it might even include his own family.

Vera and their three kids have no idea of what Ike has done for the sake of his success. He starts living a life of lies, reflected in the very place he works. The Miramar Playa might be wholesome by day, with clowns and cha-cha lessons dominating the scene. But as the sun sets, escorts take control and secret affairs start.
