Netflix wird 2027 die animierte Magic: The Gathering‑Serie Planeswalker veröffentlichen, wie Roy Graham in einem Video ankündigte, berichtet The Verge. Die Serie soll sich auf Chandra Nalaar konzentrieren, die in einer mit IGN geteilten Synopsis als unberechenbare Pyromancerin beschrieben wird, die wegen ihrer Gaben gejagt und von ihrer Vergangenheit verfolgt wird. The Verge berichtet, dass jede Ebene als eigenes Pocket‑Universum mit eigenem Design, eigener Animation und eigenem filmischen Stil dargestellt wird. Storydetails sind begrenzt; die Synopsis erwähnt eine hinterhältige Macht, der Chandra und andere Planeswalker entgegentreten werden, um einen katastrophalen Krieg zu verhindern.

What happened: The Verge reports Roy Graham, Head of Story at Magic: The Gathering, announced in a video that Netflix will release an animated series called Planeswalker in 2027.
Why it matters: The series is billed to center on Chandra Nalaar and a group of Planeswalkers confronting an "insidious force" to avert a cataclysmic war, per a synopsis shared with IGN cited by The Verge.
Context: The Verge notes a previously teased Magic: The Gathering animated project with Joe and Anthony Russo from 2019 fell apart, and Netflix announced a reworked take in 2024 before this new announcement.
What next: The Verge and an IGN-shared synopsis provide the premise and stylistic intent, but further storyline details and production specifics are not yet confirmed.
