The trailer for 'Just Add Magic: Mystery City' introduces fans to the new protectors and their mission. Specifically, our new heroes are going to have to find three little coins that can lead them to discover an extremely powerful sourdough bread before the most popular kid in school, who is also the latest in a long line of evil protectors, can get his hands on it.
