Well this is a pretty interesting development to randomly happen on a Monday.
Netflix has announced, in conjunction with Hasbro (who owns Wizards of the Coast) and their Allspark Animation studio, that they're teaming up with Joe and Anthony Russo (of Arrested Development and Marvel fame) to create an animated series "for the first tine in the franchise's 25-year history."
It'll feature an "all new storyline," that will focus on the Planeswalkers: powerful beings in the Magic universe that can traverse worlds. Yoriaki Mochizuki (who worked on the LEGO films and Into the Spider-Verse) is directing, and script duties will be handled by Henry Gilroy (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) and Jose Molina (The Tick, Agent Carter). The Russos will be executive producers.
Magic just wrapped up a years-long storyline in their card game arm, which now extends to Magic: Arena, a near 1:1 replication of the tabletop experience. All this time Wizards of the Coast has dabbled in various mixed-media projects like novels and video games, but obviously this TV series, with major parties and creatives involved, is a big deal.
