Magic: The Gathering Is Getting a New Animated Adventure
The sneak peek gives us our first glimpse into the upcoming series and the creative work behind it. There’s a lot of ground to cover in. After all, the source material has such a long history and an established world of its own.
According to the synopsis, Planeswalker follows a fierce conflict between powerful mages known as Planeswalkers. At the center of the story is Chandra, a volatile pyromancer who is hunted because of 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.
Who Is Behind Netflix’s Planeswalker?
Terry Matalas—yeah, the one from 12 Monkeys—serves as showrunner, with Cindy Appel joining him as co-showrunner. Matalas and Appel are also executive producers alongside Patrick Osborne, who will additionally serve as supervising director.
The executive producing team also includes Gabriel Marano for Hasbro Entertainment, while Lauren Chavez-Myers will serve as co-executive producer for the company. Daisy West is attached as producer, and Digic will handle the animation.
Planeswalker is scheduled to arrive on Netflix in 2027. We still have a wait ahead of us, but this first look gives us something to get excited about. Now, the big question is which legendary Planeswalkers will join Chandra as the series continues to reveal more of its world.
Planeswalker will premiere on 2027 only on Netflix.
