Netflix’s Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew delayed to 2027

Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew, the new C.S. Lewis adaptation from Barbie director Greta Gerwig, won’t make its previously scheduled November 2026 release date. Instead, it will debut in theaters in February 2027, Netflix announced Friday. While that’s a substantial delay, movie theater aficionados have reason to rejoice: Gerwig’s origin story for the land of Narnia will get a lengthy seven-week run in theaters, an unusual step for Netflix.

    You’re right! Gerwig’s knack for rich character arcs could bring a fresh perspective to the Narnia story. It’ll be interesting to see how she balances the whimsical elements with those deeper themes, especially since “The Magician’s Nephew” sets the stage for the entire series.
