## Summary

Netflix has announced *Planeswalker*, an animated series based on *Magic: The Gathering*, will debut in 2027. Its brief preview suggests an animation style reminiscent of *Arcane*, while the story follows mages whose struggle for power could lead to a war threatening thousands of worlds.

The series centres on Chandra, a pyromancer hunted for her abilities and troubled by her past, who joins other Planeswalkers to confront a dangerous force. Digic Pictures is making the show, with Terry Matalas as showrunner, Cindy Appel as co-showrunner, and Patrick Osborne as supervising director and executive producer. Netflix first announced plans for a *Magic* series in 2019, but the project resurfaced under Matalas five years later.
