Have you read/watched The Magicians? I watched the series when it came out on the SyFy network, but I think it’s on Netflix now, and I highly recommend it. It can be dark, which I normally don’t like, but the series does it well.
I have not read the books and from reviews I’ve read, there are some differences between the books and the series (some people were particularly upset about a name change for one of the characters and how an actor/actress doesn’t look similar to how the character was described in the books).

I love The Magicians (esp the books), but word of warning, it’s a harsh critique of people who love fantasy novels. I think that’s what makes them sooo good. It still has the elements you’re looking for, but I can see why it might rub some people the wrong way.
