Look: Netflix Introduces 'Magic: The Gathering' Series 'Planeswalker'
The animated fantasy series centers on Chandra and other powerful mages as they battle to stop a war across the Magic: The Gathering multiverse.
- Netflix unveiled the first look at its upcoming animated series PLANESWALKER, based on Magic: The Gathering, set to debut in 2027. The saga chronicles a conflict involving powerful mages known as Planeswalkers.
- As one of the world's biggest trading card games, Magic has attracted millions of players over more than 30 years, building an expansive fantasy universe. Co-showrunner Cindy Appel described adapting this lore as an "exciting creative opportunity."
- At the center of the struggle burns Chandra, a volatile pyromancer hunted for her gifts and haunted by her past. She must join other legendary Planeswalkers to confront a growing threat that could determine the fate of thousands of worlds.
- Developed in partnership with Hasbro Entertainment and Wizards of the Coast, the series is overseen by showrunner Terry Matalas. DIGIC Pictures will handle animation, while Oscar winner Patrick Osborne serves as supervising director and executive producer.
