Magic The Gathering: Planeswalker is set to debut on Netflix in 2027.

“It’s really happening. I promise. For real.” Those are the first words from Roy Graham, Head of Story at Magic: The Gathering , in a video posted yesterday announcing Planeswalker , the animated series heading to Netflix in 2027.

An animated Magic: The Gathering series was first teased back in 2019 with Joe and Anthony Russo at the helm. But that fell apart. In 2024, Netflix announced it still planned to make a series based on the game, but it decided to rework it from the ground up.

Now fans are finally getting their first glimpse of the show, which will be called Planeswalker . According to the sneak peek, because each plane exists in its own pocket universe, it will have a unique design, animation, and filmmaking style.

According to a synopsis of the show shared with IGN , Planeswalker will focus on Chandra Nalaar, a “volatile pyromancer hunted for her gifts, and haunted by her past.” Storyline details beyond that are vague, other than mentioning an “insidious force” that Chandra and other Planeswalkers will team up to confront “to prevent a cataclysmic war that threatens to consume their very existence.”
