Narnia fans, get ready to celebrate! After a long 13-year wait, The Chronicles of Narnia series is making a grand comeback. Netflix has officially enlisted Barbie's Greta Gerwig to write and direct not just one, but two film adaptations.
, the 39-year-old director isn't returning to work on another Mattel film anytime soon. Instead, she'll venture into the high fantasy realm of C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia.
Netflix secured the exclusive rights to the beloved franchise in 2018, marking the first time a single company held the rights to the entire Narnia universe.
Last year, Netflix announced its ambitious plan to create multiple films and television shows from the Narnia IP, signing on Coco co-writer Matthew Aldrich as the creative architect to oversee all projects associated with the franchise. Mark Gordan, Douglas Gresham, and Vincent Sieber were also handpicked to join the Narnia adventure as executive producers for the films and producers for the upcoming shows.
