Overview
- Wizards of the Coast officially revealed the series title Planeswalker during a MagicCon Atlanta panel on November 13, 2026 and showed the first trailer and development art.
- The company said the show will center on a young Chandra Nalaar and her mentor Ajani Goldmane and will use distinct art styles tied to the different planes the characters visit.
- Netflix confirmed a 2027 release window for the animated series but did not give a specific premiere date.
- The project has endured multiple restarts since a 2019 Netflix announcement, and current creative leadership includes showrunner Terry Matalas after earlier attachments such as the Russo brothers and Jeff Kline.
- The animated series forms part of a broader screen strategy for the Magic multiverse that includes a separately produced live-action film and teases appearances by other core Planeswalkers, which could expand the franchise’s reach and content for fans.
