Netflix has officially announced the production of a new animated series based on the popular card game Magic: The Gathering, with Terry Matalas as showrunner. This development comes after previous iterations of the series faced issues, including creative differences and eventual scrapping. The game, created by Wizards of the Coast in 1993 and later acquired by Hasbro, allows players to build decks and engage in strategic battles using mana, heroes, and spells. While details about the plot and characters remain scarce, the new series is described as an 'event series,' suggesting a limited run rather than multiple seasons. Fans remain hopeful that this iteration will do justice to the beloved franchise, which has inspired various media over the decades.
