'Magic: The Gathering' Series Gets First Teaser; Watch Here
Production was announced in 2019 and is finally going to happen.
The animated series of Magic: The Gathering has finally released its first official teaser. Titled Planeswalker, the production is scheduled to premiere in 2027 on Netflix, starring Chandra Nalaar and her mentor Ajani Goldmane.
The teaser was accompanied by several behind-the-scenes scenes and interviews that detail a bit more of the series' creative process. It's worth noting that Terry Matalas, responsible for VisionQuest, will be leading this project.
Matalas, however, arrived after several production complications. Initially, when announced in 2019, the series was to be led by the Russo brothers; in 2021, they left the project and the responsibility fell to Jeff Kline, of Transformers: Prime. Matalas's inclusion only happened in 2024, and it seems that things are finally moving as they should.
This isn't the only Magic-related production in development. A live-action film starring Maya Hawke and directed by Matt Johnson is in the hands of Legendary Entertainment, but there's still little information available about it.
