Magic City (TV series)

Magic City is an American drama television series created by Mitch Glazer for the Starz network.

Evans is forced to make an ill-fated deal with Miami Jewish Mob boss Ben Diamond (Danny Huston) to ensure the success of his glitzy establishment.

The thing that’s really cool for me about Miami Beach is you have this dichotomy between sunlight and family and happiness and innocence and then at night, darker, stranger mob conspiracy stuff sort of comes out.

[23][24] Many of the incidents Glazer relates in the series "are based on stories that happened, that I saw, or older brothers and sisters or my parents told me."

[23] Included in the series, Glazer states, will be Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) activities in Cuba and issues connected to the Civil Rights Movement.

[26] Glenn Garvin of the Miami Herald said of the series: "The sordid ugliness that festers inside Magic City's voluptuously beautiful wrappings makes irresistible television.

Stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Olga Kurylenko, Danny Huston, and Kelly Lynch were set to reprise their roles.

The entire Magic City series was released by Starz and Anchor Bay in Blu-ray and DVD formats on May 13, 2014.
