Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell ended on June 28, 2015, after its first season aired on BBC One. The series concluded its story with all episodes broadcast, and no upcoming episodes are scheduled.

Set during the Napoleonic Wars in 1806, the show was a drama and fantasy series that depicted a time when magic was believed to have faded from England’s past but was about to reemerge.

His cautious approach was challenged by Jonathan Strange, a daring and young magician who believed in a more adventurous use of magic. As their rivalry grew, their secret dealings with dark arts brought unforeseen consequences.
