Seamless Transition to Tubi Without Extra Costs
For those who have invested time in The Magicians and are concerned about losing access, ComicBook reports that Tubi will be the new streaming home for all five seasons of the show. Unlike other platforms requiring paid subscriptions or account sign-ups, Tubi allows fans to continue watching without any additional financial burden. The only consideration is the inclusion of occasional ads during your binge-watching sessions, a small trade-off for free access.
