Greta Gerwig’s Narnia Netflix Movie Sets 2027 Release Date

Greta Gerwig‘s “Narnia” movie will be getting a full Imax theatrical release in early 2027.

Previously slated for a Thanksgiving 2026 release, the film is now set to open in theaters on Feb. 12, 2027, and on Netflix on April 2, 2027. Sneak previews of “Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew” will begin on Imax screens on Feb. 10.

The film adaptation of C.S Lewis’ book stars Carey Mulligan, Daniel Craig, Meryl Streep, Emma Mackey and more.

Gerwig is writing and directing the fantasy adventure, which follows “The Magician’s Nephew” — the sixth novel in the series. The story serves as a prequel to “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” and centers on the creation of Narnia by Aslan the lion (voiced by Streep). Two children, Digory and Polly, are the first to discover the “Wood between the Worlds” after an uncle (Craig) gives the two friends a magical ring. Mackey is playing Jadis, also known as the White Witch, the antagonist of the series, while Mulligan will portray Digory’s ill mother. The film’s young leads have yet to be cast.

Netflix acquired rights to the “Narnia” book series in 2018 and announced plans to develop new films and television shows around the fantastical world. The multi-year deal marked the first time that rights to all seven novels were held by the same company. Three prior films, 2005’s “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” 2008’s “Prince Caspian” and 2010’s “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” were adapted at 20th Century and Disney.
