Earlier this month, the live-action "Magic: The Gathering" movie from "Tony" director Matt Johnson announced that it had cast Maya Hawke in a starring role. Now, Netflix has unveiled the first behind-the-scenes look at "PLANESWALKER," its animated "Magic: The Gathering" series seven years in the making. The video also closes with a brief teaser featuring the first footage from the show.
Terry Matalas, the showrunner behind "Star Trek: Picard" and Marvel's recently concluded, critically acclaimed series "VisionQuest," leads the project. "PLANESWALKER" is set to debut in 2027.
Official synopsis: Powerful mages known as Planeswalkers are drawn into a ferocious conflict.

To confront a sinister force, Chandra and several of the most legendary Planeswalkers must master their extraordinary powers, navigate dangerous alliances and face their inner demons. Their mission is to stop a devastating war that could destroy everything they know. As the boundary between victory and annihilation begins to disappear, one spark will decide the fate of thousands of worlds.
