Magic: The Gathering Animated Series: All you may want to know

Netflix’s animated Magic: The Gathering (MTG) series has undergone several changes since its initial announcement. The series still lacks an official release date and a concrete storyline.

Production

The MTG series has had several changes in its production team. Initially, Joe and Anthony Russo were attached to the project but later exited due to creative differences. Following their departure, Jeff Kline from Transformers: Prime was selected to lead the series' development. However, the project shifted again, and the new creative direction is now headed by executive producer and showrunner Terry Matalas, known for his work on 12 Monkeys and Star Trek: Picard. Patrick Osborne, who won an Academy Award for his work on the short film Feast, will be the supervising director and an executive producer.

Storyline Hints

Although Netflix has not provided specific details about the storyline, some hints suggest a focus on Chandra, a Planeswalker with fire-conjuring abilities. A teaser image released shows a woman holding an open flame. It further fuelled speculation that Chandra will play a central role in the show. In 2019, Joe Russo hinted that both Jace and Chandra might be major characters, though it is uncertain if this idea remains after the Russos left the project.
