The Bureau of Magical Things

Kyra Glen is an ordinary teenager until a chance contact with an old, enigmatic book changes everything. The book alters her biology, making her a Tri-ling, part human, part fairy and part elf, and gives her unexpected magical abilities. As Kyra learns to control spells and senses she never had, she also stumbles into a hidden network of magical beings living alongside the human world. School, family and friendships get complicated as she tries to keep secrets, understand new rules that govern magic, and work with a small group of allies, including Lily, Imogen and Ruksy, to handle threats that could upset the balance between both worlds.

Released in 2018, the series was created by Jonathan M. Shiff and produced for family and children's audiences, featuring Kimie Tsukakoshi, Mia Milnes, Elizabeth Cullen, Julian Cullen and Rainbow Wedell in key roles.

The show did not rack up major international industry awards, but it earned attention within kids programming circles and helped solidify Jonathan M. Shiff Productions as a steady source of youth-focused fantasy television.

Among younger viewers the show sparked fan art, cosplay and active discussion on social platforms, with scenes and character designs often shared by school-age fans. It also found a wider audience through streaming and international broadcasts, which helped it reach viewers beyond its original market.

Reviewers and parents generally praised its lighthearted tone, accessible worldbuilding and emphasis on friendship, responsibility and identity.
