Netflix is preparing to transport audiences to Narnia, the enchanted realm created by author C.S. Lewis, with a feature film unlike anything you’ve ever seen or heard before. 

Written and directed by Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Greta Gerwig (Barbie, Little Women), the highly anticipated adaptation will debut this year in IMAX theaters in November, ahead of its release on Netflix in December.

Gerwig, whose films have found fresh, original ways into beloved stories, brings her singular vision to Lewis’s iconic world explored in The Chronicles of Narnia series. Filled with mythic battles and unforgettable creatures and characters, the seven-book collection launched in 1950 and has sold more than 115 million copies and been translated into 57 languages worldwide.

While details of the forthcoming film remain locked behind enchanted doors, it’ll be an adventure that invites in both longtime fans and new magic-seekers.

Produced by Gerwig, Mark Gordon, Amy Pascal, and Vincent Sieber-Smith, with executive producers Douglas Gresham and Melvin Adams for the C.S. Lewis Estate alongside Patty Whitcher, the film will be the first chapter in Netflix’s cinematic journey through Narnia.
