Magic: The Gathering is expanding from your tabletop to Netflix (for real), and you won’t even need to break out your Pyromancer’s Goggles to watch. 

The hugely popular card game Magic: The Gathering, which has enthralled millions of tabletop gamers for more than 30 years, is set to become an event animated series streaming on Netflix — and it’s currently in production with new creative direction from showrunner and executive producer Terry Matalas (Star Trek: Picard12 Monkeys). Announced at Geeked Week 2024, the series was created in partnership with Hasbro Entertainment and Wizards of the Coast, with Oscar winner Patrick Osborne (Feast) as supervising director and executive producer.

“It has been an absolute dream collaboration with Netflix, Hasbro Entertainment, Wizards of the Coast, and the brilliant Patrick Osborne to bring the many worlds of Magic: The Gathering to streaming,” Matalas tells Tudum. “Those new to this sprawling saga will learn what millions of fans who play every day already know. Magic is the ultimate storytelling sandbox, brimming with iconic, complex characters, extraordinary mind-bending powers, and portals to every genre imaginable. It is also a powerful reminder that no matter what culture, country, or plane of existence you come from, we can all unite and become heroes together.”

The best part? You can see a first look at the upcoming series above.
