Directed by Greta Gerwig (Barbie), the new adaptation of ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’ is scheduled for release on Netflix in a new report
Being extremely awaited by fans, the new remake of “The Chronicles of Narnia”, a literary franchise created by the author CS Lewiswhich will be directed by filmmaker Greta Gerwig (Barbie), got new updates.
After the Deadline portal reported earlier this month that the production inspired by the universe is expected to start recording in July 2025, Bloomerang revealed through a report the expected debut on Netflix: December 2026.
As reported by Omelete, the document also reveals that, currently, Greta would be in negotiations with the streaming platform for the film to also be released in theaters and in IMAX. Although not common, the proposal has been analyzed by Netflix.
Although there are still no confirmations of the actors who will be part of the cast, rumors claim that the first book in the franchise to be adapted will be “The Magician’s Nephew”. Despite not being the first released, the work is the first in chronological order, being responsible for presenting the creation of Narnia, years before the arrival of the brothers Pedro, Susana, Edmundo and Lúcia Pevensie.
It is worth remembering that, contrary to what many may think, “The Chronicles of Narnia” does not only have three books — something that some may imagine thanks to the three adaptations made by Disney in the 2000s. In fact, the franchise is made up of seven works, which were not released in chronological order.
They are: “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” (1950), “Prince Caspian” (1951), “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” (1952), “The Silver Chair” (1953), “ The Horse and His Boy” (1954), “The Magician’s Nephew” (1955) and “The Last Battle” (1956).
However, following the correct order of the story, the books would be organized as follows: “The Magician’s Nephew” (1955), “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” (1950), “The Horse and His Boy ” (1954), “Prince Caspian” (1951), “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” (1952), “The Silver Chair” (1953) and “The Last Battle” (1956).
