Magic: The Gathering Animated Series 'Planeswalker' Coming to Netflix in 2027

Get ready, Magic: The Gathering fans! The long-awaited animated series, officially titled Planeswalker, is finally making its way to Netflix in 2027. Roy Graham, Head of Story at Magic: The Gathering, confirmed the news in a video posted yesterday, promising that it's "really happening. I promise. For real."

This isn't the first time we've heard about a Magic: The Gathering series. Back in 2019, Joe and Anthony Russo were attached to an animated project. However, that particular iteration didn't pan out. Fast forward to 2024, and Netflix announced it was still committed to bringing the popular card game to the screen, but with a complete overhaul from the ground up.

Now, after years of anticipation and development, fans are getting their first official look at the series. The sneak peek offers a glimpse into the show, which is set to explore the multiverse concept central to Magic: The Gathering. While details are still emerging, the confirmation of a 2027 release date and the reveal of the title 'Planeswalker' are sure to excite the game's dedicated player base. It seems the magic is indeed about to be unleashed on a global streaming platform.
