Looking for new info on Greta Gerwig’s Narnia movies for Netflix? Then you’ve come to the right place. It seems like it was only yesterday that we first immersed ourselves into the cinematic world of lions, witches, and wardrobes with Andrew Adamson’s adaptation of C. S. Lewis’s beloved books — but, friends, it was 20 years ago and we are ready for a redo.
Back in 2018, it was announced that Netflix was scheming to breathe new air into the Chronicles of Narnia franchise, acquiring the rights to adapt C.S. Lewis’s seven books on the series.
“It is wonderful to know that folks from all over are looking forward to seeing more of Narnia, and that the advances in production and distribution technology have made it possible for us to make Narnian adventures come to life all over the world,” Douglas Gresham, Lewis’s stepson, said in a statement. “Netflix seems to be the very best medium with which to achieve this aim, and I am looking forward to working with them toward this goal.”
Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s chief content officer added: “C.S. Lewis’s beloved Chronicles of Narnia stories have resonated with generations of readers around the world. Families have fallen in love with characters like Aslan and the entire world of Narnia, and we’re thrilled to be their home for years to come.”
It wasn’t until 2023 that we learned that Greta Gerwig had been tasked with adapting Lewis’s beloved franchise into “at least two movies” for Netflix and now production is inching closer than ever before, with casting musings enthralling fans all over the world.
So, we’ve combed the internet to gather all the info we’ve gotten so far about Greta Gerwig’s highly-anticipated adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia for Netflix.
