When is the Magic The Gathering TV series coming out on Netflix?
Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast are teaming up with Netflix to deliver a TV series adaptation of Magic: The Gathering, shepherded by 12 Monkeys and VisionQuest showrunner Terry Matalas. Matalas is also showrunning this series, and stated (via a news release) “We have the ability to bring these characters to life in ways that the audience hasn’t seen before. It’s really exciting.”
Cindy Appel (Star Trek: Picard and VisionQuest) will co-showrun the series, while Patrick Osborne (Feast) serves as supervising director and executive producer. DIGIC Pictures, a Hungarian animation studio known for producing cinematic game trailers, will animate the series.
The series’ synopsis reads:
“Planeswalker chronicles the fierce clash between formidable mages known as Planeswalkers. At the center of this struggle for power and survival burns Chandra, a volatile pyromancer hunted for her gifts and haunted by her past. Confronted by an insidious force, Chandra and some of the most legendary Planeswalkers must harness their extraordinary abilities, navigate treacherous alliances, and battle their own inner demons to prevent a cataclysmic war that threatens to consume their very existence. As the line between victory and annihilation grows thinner, a single spark determines the fate of thousands of worlds.”
Planeswalker will begin streaming on Netflix sometime in 2027.
