Netflix is ​​starting all over again with Magic: The Gathering

Netflix is ​​starting from scratch with its animated adaptation of the game Magic: The Gathering.
The streamer previously announced a version of the series in 2019 with Joe and Anthony Russo at the helm. The Russos and their team, including lead writers Henry Gilroy and Jose Molina, left early in the process due to differing views on the best way to adapt the IP. Jeff Kline took over in August 2021, but he too has now left.

The new showrunner is Terry Matalas, who was recently named showrunner of Marvel's Vision series for Disney+.

Brandon Routh would voice Gideon Jura in the series, which tells the stories of the Planeswalkers, Magic's unique magic-wielding heroes and villains. He recently said the series was being canceled. However, it turns out that this was only partially true; his version, which was written and recorded, was scrapped, but Netflix is ​​turning a new leaf and Routh is no longer part of it.

Production on the new version, which comes from Hasbro Entertainment and Wizards of the Coast, will begin soon.

Matalas recently served as showrunner on Star Trek: Picard for the second and third seasons of the Paramount+ series. He also served as showrunner on the fourth season of MacGyver (2016) for CBS, but is best known for co-creating and serving as showrunner on Syfy's adaptation of 12 Monkeys. His other projects include Nikita, Terra Nova, Nightflyers and Star Trek: Enterprise.
