Magic: The Gathering animated series Planeswalker is coming to Netflix in 2027

Netflix has revealed that its long-delayed Magic: The Gathering animated series is called Planeswalker and is due in 2027. The announcement revives a project first unveiled in 2019, after earlier creative changes and a restart, and brings the fantasy franchise closer to a screen adaptation.

The story centres on Chandra Nalaar, a pyromancer pursued for her powers and troubled by her past. She and other Planeswalkers face a growing threat and the prospect of a devastating war. Terry Matalas is leading the series with Cindy Appel, while Budapest-based DIGIC Pictures is handling the animation.
